Htc sensation semi brick

HI ALL
I have a massive problem with my htc sensation xe. My phone is a t-mobile sensation xe.This is what i have done to it i unlocked the boot loader from the htc dev website. I then rooted it using super click one. I then installed clockworkmod recovery. I then tryed to flash a leedroid rom to my phone and my phone would always restart after the htc logo.
I tryed to flash many other roms but same result, phone would either freeze or continuosly reset.
Can somebody help me please. I have attached a picture of my recovery screen as this is the only thing i have access to.
Thanks In Advance

And what happens when you choose an option from there?
try
fast reboot
factory reset
Try going back to the thread for you rom read, reread and reread agan,
Then follow the instructions 100% and as if by magic........................

I have been assisting this person on the sensation forum he was originally rooted with ship s off however he installed a Rom and apprantly his hboot has changed.
He has tried to change Rom but his phone is boot looping with the HTC logo and as you can see he his picture he is back to ship on.
I provided a list of ruu but he's phone fails while attempting to run application.
He has tried resetting phone through recovery and clearing data,cache,formatting system.
He explained he tried to root following the current 4 methods but still no sucess.
I advised him to seek help on here.

I done as you told me
1.)I went into recovery and clicked factory reset
2.)I then clicked wipe cache partition
3.)I then clicked wipe davlik cache
4.)I then clicked fix permissions
5.)I then tryed to install the shipped t-mobile rom
It did not work
6.)I also tryed to install another custom rom same problem. The phone would hang on the htc logo boot up screen.
I have included pictures to make it easier to assess the problem

I don't think flashing a Rom will get you back to s-on. From your pictures I noticed you're trying to downgrade from ICS to GB, no? If you have the ICS firmware (3.06), how come you have hboot 1.18 s-on? Either there's something missing in your explanation or you really have messed up the software. Anyway, why don't you cross referenced what you've done with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

I want my phone to work wetaher with original rom or custom rom.
This is what i done.
1.)I went onto htc.dev and unlocked my bootloader
2.)I used super click one to root my phone and gain super user access
3.)I then installed rom manger and clockwork recovery to my phone.
4.)I then used rom manger to download leedroid rom for my phone and installed it.
This is were it all went wrong. My phone would continuosly restart and not let be do anything. If i installed any other custom rom through recovery myphone would freeze at the htc screen untill i removed the battery.
Somebody please help i do not want to send it into htc and pay £60 odd pound

Have you tried to select fastboot from hboot, connect to a pc and run the ruu from there?

I have run into the same problem with Sensation 4G (TMO).
Here's what I did:
1. Tried revolutionary to gain s-off - and it failed
2. Unlocked phone with HTC (so my hboot scren says "Unlocked")
3. Flashed recovery
4. Flashed Android Revolution HD™ 6.5.1 | ICS |
Now stuck in a boot loop (with HTC logo on white background). Tried multiple RUUs, none of them worked (including the latest one from T-Mobile).
No luck resurrecting device so far.

weird. ive used revolutionary 3 different times to gain s-off and have never had it fail. i would give it another shot and be extra careful and follow the instructions to a T.

What version of leedroid are you trying to flash? Remember to have the latest firmware to flash ICS roms...
This is were you can get them...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Select the proper firmware according to your cid and mid... If you have supercid, you can get any file... 1.17 is for Gingerbread.... 3.32 is for the latest ICS roms out there...

I've tried firmware from thread you are suggesting (cid and mid matched). Hboot does recognize the zip on sd card, parses it and takes me to normal menu. Nothing else happens. I verified that my cid and mid match androidinfo.txt in zip file.
Any other clues?
I've also tried flashing "boot loop" at the bottom of the same post, but HBOOT keeps doing the same: loads zip, parses it, shows regular menu. Nothing else.

Other option is to supercid your device if you can.... Makes your device more flexible...

@paul.turchenko, the firmware will not flash as HTC.dev unlock only unlocks part of your bootloader. Radio and boot images (included in each fw package) will not flash unless you have s-off.
Have you tried to relock the bootloader then run a gingerbread ruu? Try to match the baseband, software version, carrier, area etc. as closely as you can to your original setup.

Thanks for reply. Any giudance on relocking bootloader? Which T-Mobile RUU should I try? All RUUs I've tried keep failing on me saying something like "this RUU is not compatible with your device" - error 155.

This might help you:

[SOLVED]
AWESOME!
Thanks to post above I successfully unbricked my Sensation 4G.
For those who stuck with the same problem:
Symptoms:
HBOOT:
*UNLOCKED*
S-ON
1.18
Solution: use tool from post above (can't post links) and lock bootloader back. After that your HBOOT will show
*RELOCKED*
S-ON
1.18
After this, phone will accept RUU (which failed before with *UNLOCKED* bootloader).
RUU:
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed
I will keep all files for a while so if anyone wants them - PM me.

[Q] Flashed wrong firmware while trying to root

Hey guys, I just rooted my phone and put in Virtuous's AOSP senseless ics rom. I was doing to same for my brother's, but I mistakenly updated the hboot to 1.23.000 halfway through.
What I did was:
I followed "[Guide] to installing s-off, ..."
Did step 1 and started step 2.
In step 2, instead of using the PG58IMG file for clockwork recovery, I used the PG58IMG file to update the firmware for the ics rom
The problem is that whenever I enter hboot, it checks for the PG58IMG file, and when i try using the one for clockwork recovery, it says "model id incorrect" and prompts me to press power to reboot.
Now, the phone has s-off, but doesn't have root. its hboot version is 1.23.0000.
Is there any way I can downgrade the version to 1.18 or less, or maybe get the clockwork recovery in the updated ics PG58IMG file?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I got the same error with the new firmware til I did super cid. Its easier than rooting I think. Sorry no link I'm on my phone. Just google super cid sensation xda and follow the steps in the thread.

Oh n u still have clockwork recovery. Just remove your sd card and put it in your pc. Then take off the PG58img file you installed through your pc. Then u should b able to go to recovery.

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.

Can you please help me and guide me to the whole procedure of running older RUU?

I had this problem when flash OTA with custom recovery, install to htc recovery flash again. I used this guide to install the right recovery if you on custom this may help. [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.

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.

[Q] I think I may have bricked my Sensation

Hello I am a noob and I need help please.
On Tuesday I rooted my HTC XE Sensation after finding a way to root and unlock it. Well after I did all of that I went to add the custom CoinDroid rom onto my phone and now my phone will not do anything. I removed the file from my sd card and re-added everything I did to root & unlock the phone and now it just stays at the HTC logo white screen.
I am able to get on the bootloader and I have used recovery on my phone every time with CWM. And nothing happens. Is my phone bricked? If not is there a way to get my phone to work?
On the bootload screen it reads:
***UNLOCKED***

Try to flash a GB ROM. I think you're trying to flash a Sense 3.6 ROM or something without having the proper firmware.
- Try using 4Ext instead of ClockWork

Ok will I be able to add 4Ext on to my phone my placing my sd card into a sd card reader and how do I flash the GB Rom?

Well you won't be able to use 4ext until you can download it off the market.
Find a nice Gingerbread ROM off development, or you can try ARHD sense 3.5 ROM. Don't try to usr 3.6 because you probably don't have proper firmware. Download the 3.5 ROM, put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery, superwipe everything and then flash the ARHD ROM. Make sure you check md5 sum.
Sent from my Sensation 4G using XDA

I just saw that you have S-On. I think another problem is that you have S-on. There are a couple guides in development that guide you through the process. Obtain S-off, super CID, then try to flash again. You can do all that through ADB. Imma head to sleep now, will help you tomorrow if you still need help.

Alright so here we go:
Step 1: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. This is the thread for S-Off. Do that first. This might solve your problem. After you have S-Off do the next step.
Step 2: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460801 and download the ROM. You don't have to stick with this ROM. It's just to check if it works. Make sure you put the downloaded ROM into the ROOT of your SD card. Don't put it in any folder.
Step 3: Put your SD card back into your phone and reboot to recovery(CWM). Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik-Chache.) Once you've done that, flash the ROM. After flashing, reboot your phone and it should reboot. First boot takes a while. If it seems to bootloop, try to flash one more time. If it still bootloops, All I can tell you to do is either try and unroot it and set it like factory or try to upgrade your Frimware.
(If your phone did boot up correctly)
Step 4: Go to the market and download 4EXT. Follow the directions to have your recovery changed.
Step 5: I am assuimging you have changed your CID to 11111111. If not, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and follow the directions on how to change your CID.
Step 6: Most ROMS now adays will require the new firmware. To do that, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618. Follow the directions on how to change your firmware. Read the directions are fully, doing this wrong could make your phone useless. After your firmware is changed, go on development and download a ROM you might like. Read through and make sure the firmware that ROM requires is the firmware that you have.
That Should worlk. Good luck.

[Q] Can Anyone please help..Wifi error on HTC Sensation

please help me I have HTC Sensation Z710e
I used to have the 3.33 version software and Hboot 1.27.1111, so I used the Juopnetbear method for S-OFF
Here's a link to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
I did the htcdev method to unlock the bootloader and it worked flawlessly(the device had no errors after reboot)
But when I flashed 3.32 stock ROM(which is required for the control bear method to work), there was a Wifi error . I thought this was a temporary glitch and it will go away after I install another ROM..
So I proceeded to S-OFF using the wire trick
Now when I installed a custom ROM it read Wifi error...
I looked into many posts and tried different methods but nothing worked..
PLEASE SAVE ME!!!
CUSTOM ROM is Ordroid V9.0.0

maybe in your case is unecessary but it worths the try
flash the boot.img of the rom manually
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only extra 1 step) or
do a full wipe and reflash the rom

Reflashing is maybe the only thing you could do
Or try flashing the radio

I did that and it didn't work however I flashed a different ROM (HyperNonSense) and now it's working

How exactly do I flash the radio?sorry for all the questions..I did find a ROM that solved the problem and I noticed that it had a stock kernel..does that mean that I can never flash a ROM with a custom kernel? WTF to that:banghead:
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

You can flash a matching kernel if your So Off. And you can flash a radio if your S off. Here is how. This is how I flash my radio. The radio file is a pg58img file. It must continue to be named pg58img, nothing added to the name. Place the pg58img file at root of SD card. Do this by coping the file from your computer to your device. Then once file is placed on root of SD card pull battery, put battery back in, press volume down and power, the device will recognise the file and ask to update, power for yes. Once the update is finished you MUST remove the pg58img file from root of SD card or when in bootloader the device will continue to try to update over and over and over. So make sure to delete the pg58img file when finished. That's it. That's how you update the radio. I suggest you read on the radio site how to update because if your unsure of any steps you can brick your device. So I'm going to attach a link for updating radio. There are a couple ways to do it. I think this way is easiest. But do read the directions so everything is clearly understood. Hope this helps you. Here is the radio link with instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
