TRYING to install firmware - HTC Sensation

Ok so Im trying to install the latest firmware, i put it on the root of sd, checked the name and everything and when i go to boot nothing happens. No prompt.. nothing.

did you hold down the power and volume down? It should automatically start up. Maybe you renamed it as a double .zip. Windows hides that by default just make sure.

Uncheck the "fastboot" option also

Didnt work.... None of it. But i finalllyyyy got it to work on its own. After like ten times booting it, it finally scanned on its own and its all good. Idk what the problem was or how i solved it other than just booting over and over lol.

Please HELP I think a ROM bricked my phone!

I have an HTC inspire after a ROM install F1 CM 7 V3 it went to the boot logo on it's stuck, I pulled the battery and still stuck.. I dont know what to do....
Turn off hold volume down and power and open up and click recovery if you have a backup but if you don't then put a P98IMG file and restore you

OK I did this, but it wont let me get to recovery, it wants me to update HBOOT?
Yeah it wont let me get passed HBOOT?? any help?
Hold down Vol+power
Then use the volume down to select Recovery then press Power to select it.

Thats what im saying I do this and it shows HBOOT and all the stuff on the bottom including recovery, but when I hit the down key it wont move... keeps me on HBOOT and then HBOOT starts its script...
Remove the PD98IMG.zip from the root of your sd card if you intend to boot into recovery and restore a backup. As long as it's on the root the bootloader will load it.

Always make sure to clear the cache prior to loading an update as well.

[Q] Rooting Failed

I have a sensation, so was eager to try the revolutionary rooting method, but every time i try it, it gets as far as rebooting into fastboot, then doesnt do any more.
its stuck on "Waiting for fastboot..."
Any suggestions?
EDIT - all sorted now the forum i was using didnt mention having to download a certain htc driver, which i previously looked for but failed to find.
sometimes it says it has failed but if you check the fastboot it'll say s-off
it doesnt actually say it failed, just waiting for fastboot
oh, i havent updated the system yet.. will see if it works after the update
EDIT - nope, still stuck on waiting for fastboot...
Further than me, when I try to open the exe file, it closes almost immediately and nothing happens

Run revolutionry in console mode, don't double click it
Uninstall HTC sync and see if its still stucked in fastboot
I'm a noob, just got insertcoin installed like 6 hours ago

Try to disable fast boot...
Settings > Power > untick Fast Boot...
Reboot your phone to recovery, clear cache + dalvik...
Try it again...
thanks ill try that, and get back
still doing the same
I had same problem before.
You must update your android to the latest ICS InsertCoin rom (4.4.4), and install the radio (you can found it in the first post of InsertCoin topic).

Need help/advice

Ok so today i was playing wind up knight (running CM9 beta 2) and my sensation got stuck so i tried to reboot by hold vol + and - and the power button...nothing happened, so went ahead and did a battery pull
when i tried to turn it back on, back light turn on but the screen dies but the phone vibrates as it always does when u press the power button to turn it on, then if i wait like 20 secs it vibrates the same way again (keep in mind the screen is off), the 20 secs later vibrates again, and so on
so im assuming im in a bootloop and screen is not turning off
so i decided to try going to hboot to try and see if adb recognizes the phone and it doesnt but i press the power button again to go to fastboot and the pc recognizes the phone, i tried fastboot devices and it indeed shows up my s/n (keep in mind screen doesnt turn on as well in hboot)
so ive been thinking my options at this point are:
*try using fastboot flashall, to flash new firmware and stuff however i dont know how to do that, ive just read that command can be done, but i havent found anyone using it on the sensation
*or i can also try an RUU, thinking about the telstra RUU since my sensation is a telstra one, however i dont know if ill lose s-off if i do this, also i dont know if i have to change my CID to the telstra one since im super CID
my fear about losing s-off is that if my screen doesnt turn on after running the RUU i wont be able to use fastboot commands anymore to try more options
so anyone have advice on what can i possibly do?
thanks
Can you reboot into recovery? If so why not just super wipe and flash a new from?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since the phone doesn't support Braille, how would he? He is without screen!
From my point of view seems like hardware... Most probably the screen... Or the gpu try flashing an ruu with out turning to s-on and pull a logcat... It might just help

i just flashed the RUU and no dice still no screen seems like im not stuck in a bootloop anymore
still no ADB commands since ADB debugging is off lol only fastboot
is there a way to get the logcat via fastboot or without adb?
Take a look here... It might do the job. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12834/broken-screen-cant-adb
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
thanks for that link it dled screencast but it need adb to get to work :S
so i tried flashing a cwm via fastboot cause i read adb can be used while in recovery after flashing i rebooted into recovery and got some drivers to install but 2 of them the last one fail, device manager recognizes the phone as an HTC Modem in recovery and no ADB commands =/
also tried setprop persist.servece.adb.enable 1 but not sure where do i have to try it
also forgot to mention when the phone is off and i plug the usb the led lights up amber after a little bit it gets green (i assume its cause the battery is fully charged) if i press the power button the phone vibrates and the led goes off
Bump for HEEEEEELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
apparently i dont have a radio either, even after flashing the RUU
tried flashing one but i got the FAILED remote message
out of curiosity. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume down and while still holding volume down button press and hold the power button. Are you getting to the HTC boot loader. If so then good. Now grab an ruu for your phone and see if it will run. Don't worry if the ruu tells you to boot the system on and click next to proceed. Flashing a ruu you will NOT lose s-off. If you can't see a screen to tell if you are in the boot loader still try to do the ruu. Let me know what happens and I will try to help you out further or not

just did, for the second time still nothing happens =/ the telstra RUU i booted to fastboot usb before flash so RUU would recognize the phone
what else can i do?
So ruu recognized the phone and finished flashing?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
yup, still no screen
Hmm not looking good. Have you tried removing the SD card and try to boot the phone without it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
yes, also without the sim card
I am afraid you will have to send to HTC for fixing or buy another sensation. Definately seems like a hardware issue that a ruu won't fix or anything currently available to us.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
another option would be to purchase a USB jtag to go into phone via serial. Beyond my skill there but treve on evo3d forums may or may not be able to help or anyone else? Which leaves yoibto decide on a replacement phone. Treve's post is [wip] download mode serials etc etc in the development section. I would link it but I am on phone atm.

You have a few of options:
1. You flash an RADIO
2. You make an FactoryReset
3. You flash the ROM again, whit full wipe
How do I do a factory reset?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
Go to recovery wipe data factory reset, then re flash Rom from back up

Do you flash a radio just like a Rom or kernel?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
No, I believe it's a pg58img file , if so you place on sd card and pull battery replace battery power and volume button at the same time when the system boots the device will recognize the file and ask to start update press power for yes then system will update, then remove the file from the sd card or it will always keep on updating. So make sure to remove it. This is the instructions for installing the pg58img file. Hope this helps
