[Q] Phone in bootloop after official OTA ICS update - HTC Sensation

Ok so my friend has bought his brand new HTC Sensation 3 days ago, and today he recived OTA ICS update. He applied the update and everything finished OK, but now the phone would not boot ! It is stuck on HTC screen, then it is restarting and again and again. I am not familiar with the HTC Sensation(currently I have SGN), so any help will be welcome please.
P.S I tried hard reset but without success
TnX

Well since its stock and not moddified he should go back to the store and ask for a new phone, its always great to have a new phone even if its 3 days after

You can tried RUU to the GB version which I believe can be found here [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection but you have to know the right version to download.

I have read that if you want to update from 2.3.3 to stuck 2.3.5 and you have the alpharev hboot (6.xxxx) your update crash and the mobile never starts.
Before do the update you have to change the hboot to 2.x version .
It's true? Where can I download the 2.x hboot?
Thanks a lot an sorry for my english.

Hi,
Yes,you can flash Sensation ROMS on Sensation XE.
It does matter whether it's GB or ICS,beccause they require different firmwares.
ARHD is good ICS ROM.
Yes you can... Sensation and xe are the same phones with a different cpu clock... And beats obviously

simply put
MOBILE hardware ----talks with-----firmware-----talks with-----ROM
now for GB there is GB firmware(s)
also for ICS there is ICS firmware(s)
and GB firmware cant run ICS ROMS
ICS firmware cant run GB ROMS
so to move from GB to ICS ..you need to update your firmware to an ICS one
to chk your firmware
settings->about phone->soft ware information->build number
if its 1.xx... then its GB firmware
for ICS you need to have 3.32.xx firmware

How did it fail? What did it say?
My suggestion is that you run the process again but look at your serial number carefully and also copy and paste the beta key provided when you entire in the serial number into the revolitionary tool box when it asks for it to reduce any chances of error.

Hi Sensation lover,
The Zerging root says, it failed to get root. The Beta Key gets accepted. Hence I am sure my serial number and beta key are correct.
Thanks again for your support.

Sometimes its best to copy and paste beta key into area to assure its exact. I'd try to start process again and be absolutely sure ALL numbers are correct.get new beta key, copy paste key see if it helps. Revolutionary is pretty straight forward. Just make sure numbers are exact! You should be good to go then. good luck!

Hi All,
In the process of upgrading, I bricked it I belive.
My phone just loops now while booting. The HTC screen comes and then goes back to the booting mode.
I have a fresh micro sd card as well. Now I need to restart the phone.
When I try to HBoot the phone, the message says as Model ID incorrect. I understand that this is due to the incompatible zip file in the root folder.
Can some one guide me to get the right image file? I tried many threads with no success.
Looking forward..

Hi,
What ROM did you try to load?
Did you superCid?
It is step 4 of the s-off guide.
This will avoid Model incorrect ID problem.
the ONLY difference between the two phones is the colour of the back door/battery cover
and the red capacitive buttons..

What firmware are you running on?
I advice you to check here if you are running on the correct firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
You need to use tacoroot method to get around the Zerging root failed message. Use this guide.
Except, use
Code:
adb shell chmod [COLOR="Red"]777[/COLOR] /data/local/tacoroot.bin
Instead of
Code:
adb shell chmod [COLOR="Red"]755[/COLOR] /data/local/tacoroot.bin
Then, after the S-Off, you need to follow the normal steps to install the ROM, as previously stated.

I don't have a nandroid backup of my stock rom, only of flashed custom rom. Never thought I needed it but need to send my phone in for repair.
Shouln't be a problem with the correct RUU right?
edit: I tried this one but it didn't work: RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed

Hey,
I have same hboot and radio as OP, but cid is HTC_Y13, does that change anything?
Can you help me find any working stock ruu? I searched the thread by Football from S4 section since my phone has to be S4, because I already had installed Dark Jelly S Edition and JellyBam. Tried about 3 of those there (one was RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.1_R_Radio_0.14.3059.14_2_release_243825_signed) Is that one even close to a working one? Does the ruu have to have exactly the words "2.15.000 or 1.11.50.05.28?
Also when I have tried some the ruus in the installed it says Source: 3.16.401.8. What does that mean?
Thanks.

Hi thanks for the link the only think I missing is how do I put file on sd when whone only boots to hboot?
Should I unlock it, then custom recovery, then try to connect storage from the recovery copy files over and then flash?
Thanks,
Ok, after trying 3 different recoveries I managed to get storage mounted and working on windows, once I have the file image I will try to copy over and try what you suggested. I hope the phone will come back.
UPDATE:
Flashing zen 1.05 rom solved (so far) all the problems I had, Initially they cured when while on cwm recovery I got OTA update, since then I had problems with mounting sd, battery drain etc. Now thanks to NQNH and Zen team I'm back on great 4.04 and sense 4.1. Thanks guys

I resolved the problem using the proper RUU
Enviado desde mi HTC One XL usando Tapatalk 2
If you're carrier does not have an RUU and you have to OTA
Steps are:
S-OFF if you are not
RUU to the latest you can find an RUU for.
Do not bother rooting or anything.
Copy OTA zip file to your phone.
Boot to stock recovery. (boot to bootloader, select recovery, When an image comes up press and hold vol up and press power)
Error will come up saying no SD card found. This is normal.
Select install from phone storage or install from internal storage. Do not select install from SD card as it looks for an EXTERNAL sd card using that option.
Then select your OTA zip file
It will flash, then reboot phone, it will finish flashing.
Then you will have the latest Software ver.
Then you can reflash TWRP or CWM or whatever and then flash your rom of choice.

The RUU you have is for AT&T and not really for your phone, and requires certain steps to flash. You should stick to one of the stock roms here in the dev section.
There is NO international RUU for your phone. You can't go back to your original OS.

-I don't have anymore the buzzer when I push on a key even if I have activated the option in parameters

use TWRP 2.7.0.8 listed here on XDA One mini forum. If you had read around on here you would of seen all this info. And all the big updates are here in the forum... If future updates come around i'm sure someone will port them if they are important enough.
