Hi guys, i got almost dead phone in mine hands and I really want to try to give it a new life.
I dont know all what was done to it before, but it was soft bricked, then few people tried to recover and bricked it even more, then in SC it was disassembled with no success, and now i have it.
What is working:
1. i can get here -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. theres no recovery on phone, no at all, also all partitions are clean and broken, but i can boot cwm with "fastboot boot" command
3. from cwm i can get to root shell in busybox with "adb shell"
4. fdisk on /deb/block/mmcblk0 fails and nowhting happens
5. in recovery any action with internal memory fails with error that can't mount /deb/block/mmcblk0p** (** are numbers for different partitions)
6. flashing from bootloader with PG58IMG.zip hangs on writing and nothing happens
all internal partitions are broken somehow, they fail to mount, and can't be written on, is there ANYTHING that can be done?
Please help me guys
Anyway its bricked so try to flash 1.17 bootloader you r already S-off then try to unlock bootloader via htcdev. Then flash gingerbread RUU if it start working there is nothing wrong to try you won't loose anything because its already bricked.

Hey guys,
I am currently following the unroot process here (http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/), and am running into some issues. I downloaded the most recent RUU from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559), and followed the instructions on both the RUU and the unlockr website. It took almost an hour and a half to download the RUU from FileFactory, and then it failed to do anything. My phone didnt even react to the RUU before it said that there was an "unknown error" and what not.
Right now I am trying to get a different, slightly older RUU but again it is claiming it will take over an hour (honestly, 386MB should not take that long to download). So first question is, are there any reliable mirrors for the TMOUS RUU? Second, does anyone have an idea on why it failed the first time I tried it? I followed the instructions to a T and it failed. Third, is this the only way to unroot and get S-ON?
I need to unroot and get S-ON for warranty work done on this phone.
Thanks a lot.
EDIT: I just tried the different RUU and I came across the same issue. I have no idea why this isnt working. This is the error I am getting...

cant restore my stock one
htc sensation... when i tried to restore my stock rom.. it says error in system file.. wat to do now pl help.. i want to s-on now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
go check this thread..follow step 5 CHANGING BACK TO S-ON..
Boot phone into FASTBOOT, connect to your PC and try again. Should work fine after that
Also, is the RUU actually one for your handset?
Hi,
A few months back, I unrooted my NS4G in order update to the official ICS release. Initially, I was content with the official ICS on my phone, however, I've come to miss the fun mods and features that are available with custom ROMs. Now, I can't seem to re-root my phone.
The bootloader is still unlocked so I tried going into recovery like old times but received a blank screen with an image of the android bot face down with its back door open and an exclamation point (pictured below).
Please help. Although I've rooted a few phones, including this one, I still feel like a rookie and may be missing something very simple.
Thanks!!!

You need to snag a custom recovery and get the current superuser. After that, you will need to make sure you either edit the script or delete the script in the system so it doesn't overwrit CWM.
Recovery fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27027436&postcount=8
Superuser:http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
CWM
The recovery needs to be pushed while in the bootloader via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
Recovery first, superuser flash 2nd, fix the recovery last once you've fully booted up.
When the faced down android appears , try pressing volume up button once . Helped me one time.

So how about an update? How are you going with it?
I have had intermittent problems in the past similar to yours, and I was able to solve it - where are you up to?
You should go into a command prompt on your computer then do a fastboot oem lock then unlock. (This will erase all data)
Tell me if this works
Screenshot shows the phone is already unlocked-
so ive been researching for a while on how to get my HTC Amaze 4g to upgrade to ICS. It's rooted, S-On, and unlocked using htc's website.
I tried to "re-lock" my device first so i could use the update, but right after it relocks, the phone wont leave fastboot screen. If i pull the battery and turn it on it goes straight to fastboot, plug it in goes to fastboot.
What do i do??!?!!?
I downloaded hasoon's HTC All in one kit but i couldnt figure out how to install a stock recovery...
I'm pretty noob so can you guys please help me?
Do i put the ph85img first and then relock my device? then let h-boot run that file ? or what....
These are the instructions i am following:
Below instructions for S ON users only who wish to remain S ON
Flash stock recovery
Relock phone (fastboot oem lock)
Flash rom update in bootloader (rename ruu to PH85IMG.zip, place on SD card and boot to bootloader)
Unlock with HTC tool
Flash custom recovery
Flash superuser package
Done!
Not even a shred of help? come on guys...

You wait 30 minutes and expect an answer from people who don't get paid to be on here and who have a Real Life to live as well? WTF do you think this is - tech support? All the answers to your questions are available on the correct forum for your device if you only searched - but if you want someone to respond instantly and spoon-feed you the solution then pay me £100 per hour and I'll get you sorted out.
I know how to install a custom Rom but for some reason last night whenever I tried to flash a new rom, I kept getting an error in recovery saying something like this
" E:/ "filename" could not find " or something like that
Then it said Installation aborted.
This happened every time whether it was a rom or a tweak package. Its not my SD card because I tried two different ones. Is it my phone or the clockwork recovery?
Go to www.4ext.net download, install (choose the touch version from within the app) and report.

If you can't then you may need to find a different way to flashing a new recovery to see if that works. The hack kit has the option to only flash a recovery.
You could also flash a ruu as last option.

Phone is now ***unlocked*** but the problem is that i cant get into recovery again, also phone stuck at bootscreen (beats logo).
Phone was updated before to the latest software ( ICS 4.0.3 ).
Any idea how to solve this?
EDIT:
Phone after some time (and battery of the phone) is able to go into bootmode...
Now i know that i have s-off and unlock also
Anyway i got some problem with 4ext recovery to flash (phone isnt rooted yet) but i got some solution with PG58IMG.zip, but now got kinda hardware problem with turning on phone again.. (need wait again some time - like cooldown)
Now question: its possible that is hardware damage?
Battery is brand new, cuz i thinked that was the problem.
news:
about phone:
phone is fully unlocked and with s-off also with superCID. Hboot 1.29
Zip adding recovery was successful.
After that i tried to install Viper5, fully wiped phone, soft was installed and last thing was restart phone.
Now bad things: phone stuck at htc logo, also im unable to get 4ext recovery again ;/
Any ideas how to solve this?
Maybe i should flash all with PC tool?
try to flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
fastbot flash boot boot.img
