Hi all,
I am trying to recover an HTC Sensation XE (PG58130), but I have no history on the unit, so I don't know if it's been modified or is genuinely faulty.
When you power the phone on, all you get is the HTC logo. Nothing else happens.
Vol Down + Power displays the following info:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2
eMMC-boot

I have tried "Factory Reset". I also put the phone into Recovery, then wiped data and cache, but still only get the HTC logo.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, does the information above suggest the phone hasn't been modified?
It hasn't been modified. It still is S-on and has the original hboot 1.18

Ah, thanks for letting me know.
So, is there any way I can fix this boot loop problem?

you need to soff your device which will let you flash a custom rom....
so that you can bring back your phone from hell
here is the guide to all the basic steps which are required to flash any rom
guide link
Thanks - I'll take a look.
Does that void the warranty with HTC? I would like to retain the warranty where possible, but if that's the only option then I don't mind.

all the things you are doing are reversible but you need to be careful while doing it
Follow step by step for successful soff
Also STEP 5 in the guide helps you in reversing the process which will help you in claiming the warranty
PS: Read each and every step carefully and execute them ...then it'll be a piece of cake
Sorry, another question, but I want to make sure I get this right.
It says in the guide to run revolutionary and then connect the phone. However, it says the phone should be on and in HTC Sync mode.
Obviously this phone isn't powering on so that's a problem.
Any ideas?

oops forgot about that
try this
keep your phone in hboot mode (i.e. power + vol down button) you'll get a white screen
then run revolutionary (hopefully revolutionary detects the phone)
if it doesn't work (i mean if revolutionary didn't recognize your device) let me know..
Im currently looking for any other method and ill post you if i got any leads
EDIT:
found the guide (follow steps carefully)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296
There seems to be different headers indicating different steps. Which steps should I follow in my case?
By the way, I saw your post before you edited it, and followed these steps to setup adb and fastboot: http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
When I type 'adb devices' into cmd I get nothing (when in HBOOT), but when I go to fastboot and type 'fastboot devices' it shows me the phone's serial number. Is that normal?
Yeah that is normal.
Adb works when you are on your OS ie either GB or ICS and fastboot works when you are on bootloader..as fastboot was able to recognize your device can you post the cid
Command is "fastboot getvar cid"
Edit:
The thing is now you require a GB Rom which can be flashed which supports. your hboot and radio but by flashing that your hboot version should not change as that is the final version where soff works.
So try unlocking your device by using HTC dev and flash a stock 2.3 Rom mentioned in the guide.
Try the way where he mentioned about a member flashing rom (he has the same scenario hboot 1.18 and ics Rom on top of it with gb firmware)

Hi, sorry I was away yesterday.
My CID is HTC__001.
Does that make any difference to flashing, etc?

yeah cid does require some changes...but have you tried
revolutionary by keeping your phone connected to your pc through usb ???
i mean when you ran revolutionary was it able to identify your device and asked for beta key??
if it did recognized your device then you'll be not having issues anymore
so just try revolutionary first and let me know the result
In the mean time i'll figure out the best solution for you
EDIT: Also you got recovery installed ?? can you check that by going into recovery from HBOOT -> (if it is an exclamatory mark with inverted triangle then stock recovery)
I ran revolutionary in HBOOT and it didn't do anything, just said it was waiting for the device.
Should it be in a different mode?
My recovery screen looks the same as this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

(im online and ill give you further steps)
EDIT:
"I have tried "Factory Reset". I also put the phone into Recovery, then wiped data and cache, but still only get the HTC logo."
how did you wiped data and cache if you got stock recovery (fyi i haven't exploited stock recovery as i ran revolutionary and installed custom recovery the next minute i got my phone )
Even in fastboot mode, revolutionary just says "Waiting for device..."
To wipe data and cache I entered recovery, then pressed Vol Up + Power which brought up further options to wipe, etc.

finally i got the ruu which installed should give you the GB on it
1.here is the link to download the RUU (it will be big file 358 MB)
RUU link
this RUU.exe is based on your CID and Radio so it will run fine
2.Guide to install RUU
guide
3.if any issue persists (there is 1 common one which was fixed by a guy)
here is the link for the fix if you run into issue
RUU running issues fix
run the ruu.exe and your phone will be reverted back to GB rom
then if you want to update to ICS there are some basuc steps to be done...
i.e SOFF and all so follow the "Guide to SOFF ,supercid ...." thread
after that you can take take this guide as reference for installing any custom rom
EDIT:
ahh man the RUU may be wrong ( will update you about this)
i got another ruu
download this also...this seems more proper for your CID
RUU 2 LINK
Thanks, will reply once I've done all that. The file is downloading now. It says I have to ensure an ActiveSync connection is established, so here's hoping it lets me do that in HBOOT/Fastboot/Recovery.
UPDATE:
1.72 RUU one was for XE version
and 1.52 one was for normal sensation
Oh this one is XE so I need the first link you gave, right? And what mode do you recommend it to be in? Recovery, Fastboot or HBOOT?
EDIT: first link doesn't work once download is supposed to commence.

Hi guys, i want to root my phone but i can't, here is he:
***** LOCKED ******
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
CID: 11111111
I got the s-off, but I tried to flash the 4EXT or the CWM and i get this:

How can i root my phone?
Can any1 help me? I really want to root my phone, but i cant flash any recovery. What i have to do? flash a eng-hboot?
i for one, don't understand how you got s-off with that hboot
I think you aren't really s-off.
Try to downgrade then root, that may be one of your solutions
Before all this, my phone was rooted, i dont know how, it was:
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
RADIO-38.03.00.03_M
eMMC-boot
Then i flashed a RUU, to back to stock, now i got this:
***** LOCKED ******
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I dont know what i have to do to root it again
If you flashed a RUU you are certainly S-ON and not rooted.
Try to downgrade but don't use the Htcdev method
According to Jack_R1 in this post i just need to flash this zip file, or am i wrong?
Can this .zip file work?
I don t think so.
In the index you have two methods to downgrade without using the Htcdev method.
After you downgraded you can obtain root S-OFF and flash what you want.
All the info required is in the index and in another 1000+ related topics.
Good luck!
You have S-OFF even after flashing RUU, and you have SuperCID (CID=11111111). This can mean only one thing - your phone was unlocked with XTC-Clip.
So, you're permanently S-OFF, and can flash anything you want from HBOOT (using PG88IMG.ZIP) - but NOT from FASTBOOT. To be able to fastboot flash something, you have to have re-engineered bootloader - but you don't have it, since you flashed stock RUU.
So, you can use the PG88IMG.ZIP that contains Eng HBOOT, the one you've found. It'll allow you to fastboot flash whatever you want.

It seems that you are one of the few lucky guys that have Stock S-OFF. The second picture is your Stock Recovery (if you press Volume Up + Power you will enter the menu)
To flash a custom ROM you need to flash a custom recovery - there is a link to an image in OP of the 4EXT Recovery thread.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {path}\recovery.img
Then copy the ROM to your SDcard, go to recovery, full wipe and flash it

In the last step you go in recovery chose full wipe (except sdcard) and after that install zip and chose the ROM that you already copied to the sdcard. Then reboot and that's it

You can't fastboot flash without having eng (or unlocked) bootloader.
With your level of (not) understanding, I highly suggest you to leave your phone alone and read. If you feel like it's too complicated - read more, until you understand. If you don't understand - don't touch your phone, I'm sure it's good enough as it is.
I've been trying to restore back to stock for over a day now and still havn't figured it out.
All of the guides start talking about adb or fastboot right in the middle of the guide without any explanation.
Aruwizard keeps saying bootloader version fail when I try to flash whats supposed to be stock rogers rom, but everything i see is telling me to download the one im already using.
1. download rogers ruu.zip
2. get supercid or downgrade follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
3. use the windows ruu tool ..... or .... get adb and fastboot installed correctly. google this if you dont know how
4a. for windows ruu tool follow my post in dev section
4b. for adb and fastboot do
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
it will ask u to run the last command again...

Have you relocked your bootloader?
1. make sure fastboot in android is turned off under power.
2. power off device
3. power phone on by holding down the volume down key + pressing power - don't release the volume down key until you see the bootloader screen
4. select fastboot
5. connect phone usb
6. screen should now read fastboot usb in red
7. type fastboot oem lock
Phone might restart back into fastboot can't really remember but now you can run the RUU.
The RUU should be an .exe for the above
im on 1.73 trying to flash reflash 1.73, so i shouldnt need to use super cid (?).

Ok you have made a very common mistake (that I have made once too, but then there was no ICS RUU, so I was forced to do some mumbo-jumbo) - not lowering your version, which is a must-have in the downgrade process
Anyway you have now much easier path now:
1) Run the ICS RUU
2) unlock the bootloader via htc-dev
3) flash a custom recovery
4) root it manually or with the AIO tool (temp root will not work)
5) lower your main version using the misc_version binary
6) relock the bootloader
7) run the RUU
8) disable the update check in the Settings, otherwise if upgraded the SC will spot the relocked bootloader
Good luck

I am afraid you are out of options. There is no way to lower your version without root.
If you are lucky and still have the custom recovery you can use the misc_version there (it has root). Otherwise you cannot flash anything with this version, only the ICS RUU. You cannot use Revolutionary again when your OS does not boot
EDIT: as I said I have made the same mistake and now my hardware buttons are almost broken and I cannot take it to a repair due to my Unlocked bootloader. But when you downgrade to 1.28.x or 1.47.x there is no "RELOCKED" flag shown in the booltoader screen. So if you keep the older version and do not update there is a chance that the SC will not check it.

Well as far as I remember the ICS RUU disclaimer says that it drops the warranty on the software side. If you have a hardware problem it should be acknowledged and repaired. But you have to recheck that.

I am afraid you are out of options. There is no way to lower your version without root.
If you are lucky and still have the custom recovery you can use the misc_version there (it has root). Otherwise you cannot flash anything with this version, only the ICS RUU. You cannot use Revolutionary again when your OS does not boot
EDIT: as I said I have made the same mistake and now my hardware buttons are almost broken and I cannot take it to a repair due to my Unlocked bootloader. But when you downgrade to 1.28.x or 1.47.x there is no "RELOCKED" flag shown in the booltoader screen. So if you keep the older version and do not update there is a chance that the SC will not check it.

What are you talking about? He can just use tacoroot. Either way, he was S-OFF, so he can just S-OFF again, change miscversion, and then roll back to S-ON.

as far as i remember - yes, but cm 10 did not provide separate boot.img or instructions about it.
You have to flash it separately since you are s-on. There should be a boot.img in the rom's zip, extract it and flash via fastboot

Good to know I could help.
By the way you said that you installed cm-10, and strongly recommend you to try cm-11. I think it's far more stable right now.
Anyway have fun

oh yes yes, i only used cm10 as a base rom, something clean to wake this phone up now what i will do is supercid, s-off and then go for something like maximus hd
It can be tough to supercid for you. Hboot 2.15 is a little problematic cause it has write protection. I hope you can do it. You shouldn't forget to enable root access to adb from developer options or you won't be able to use adb.
S-OFF

If you use rummrunner.us to S-OFF you wont need supercid.
I used it and it worked fine. You might need to experiment with the ROM.
Some aren't compatible, but you will only use it for the S-OFF.
Hope this helps you :good:

Lol i did it! its now SUPERCID and S-OFF with Hboot 2.15
it was not easy... i did first supercid with hex editing trick, was hard to pull the special file, but i did some actions with manual pulling by recovery and build in file manager, but i managed to change and push back in with adb shell su.
the s-off part was the hardest. i tryed first rumrunner 0.5.0, dint worked, then moonshine 3.16 - dint worked, got error pretty quick, then i did soffbin3 method - no luck, but it might did some shanges in system anyways. Then, i did revone method by chmoding and sending revone commands with adb shell su. it did something but failed, but i told myself - hey, its still s-on, but maybe now i did some changes to the system anyways and now rumrunner will do is job more easily, well, here is what happened: i actually laughed my ass off reading this lol

oh by the way: a little tip: if anybody would get trouble to install HTC ADB drivers with error (as windows cant find the patch specified), i installed samsung drivers instead by force (from galaxy s3 adb) cause i dint find any solution to solve htc driver issue.., but samsung adb drivers works perfectly with HTC!
Hello everyone! So here's the deal..
I recently bought an unlocked HTC One XL, which came installed with TWRP and AOKP. I noticed that the device performance was really slow and decided to erase some things. Problem is I deleted the ROM + Recovery. I have tried multiple times to install both recovery and image files. I know how to transfer files using fastboot, but there are a couple of problems:
1.) When I type in "adb devices" it doesn't say 'device not recognized' but instead it shows the apparent list of devices - which my XL is not in. This elevates the problem because I cannot just push files through adb, instead I am stuck on sending files through fastboot every single time.
2.) I have sent recovery.img's and my phone is stuck in "bootloop" - it just turns off and on in the same screen. When I try to access recovery from bootloader, this exact same problem of repetition happens. I can't change the state of the S-On.
3.) I'm still fairly new when it comes to ROM installation, but I wouldn't consider myself a complete retard either when it comes to this.

I don't think I bricked my device, though I might of have softbricked it. I know I messed up by deleting TWRP + AOKP, but I knew that it was (should've been) just as easy as flashing the files back into the phone. If anyone can help me by possibly providing ROMs and recovery files that actually work on boot it would be greatly appreciated.
** Update
I managed to install TWRP = Progress
I would suggest flashing sense 5 stock rom first ..That would get ur adb working n then go for s-off before proceeding further
It worked for me earlier

Firstly, you can't just delete the recovery, it doesn't work like that. Anyway, looks like you got TWRP installed again do all you need to do now is install a ROM and away you go. Once you have a ROM installed you can use the phone as normal, but it's pretty strongly suggested you get s-off.

The problem is I'm having a bit of trouble finding a ROM and getting S-OFF. I have looked up countless guides and I'm either doing something wrong when I follow guidelines, or they just aren't working.
Using firewater method I get an error the file "not being in directory" when it is in the exact same ADB folder.
Also another thing, if I just get a ROM that support HBOOT 1.09, can I install it with S-ON?
You should be able to install any Sense ROM with your current hboot. Aosp ROMs will require a firmware upgrade though which requires s-off. Trust me, you're gonna want s-off in the long run.
Exactly which ROMs have you tried? What errors are you getting upon installation?
Please note: while Sense ROMs will install, they will not run properly without a firmware upgrade (which requires s-off).

I tried installing the most recent CyanogenMods and ended up stopping because of HBOOT. I then tried installing AOKP most recent ROMs for my device - from their website.
I'm currently installing Sense 5, I'm following all the rules that HTC Support says.
Don't worry about HTC support, their rules don't really apply to modified phones. Just read my Evita FAQ thread and my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, both links are in my signature.

Gotcha man, thanks a bunch! I stumbled onto a problem though, How do I enable USB Debugging through TWRP? Using Rumrunenr it says i have to enable it. It says "Debugging On? Latest Drivers?" So yeah.

You can't, you can only enable that when booted into Android. So first you need to install a ROM, then you can get s-off. So you're gonna need to install a Sense ROM purely to get s-off, then you can upgrade your firmware and flash whatever you like.

Rumrunner says that? Don't use Rumrunner, try the Facepalm method instead, it's much less temperamental.

Alright this is really frustrating now. I'm getting this error when I'm trying to flash Sturge's Stock Sense 5 ROM. If it's a USB Debugging Problem then how am I supposed to flash it into the SDcard? Should I try pushing it through adb?

That isn't how you flash a ROM. Did you not read the threads in my signature like I suggested?

What I did is just copy and pasted the zip into the Sd card and just installed it from recovery. I've got most of it working timaaa, I get fine signal over WiFi but I'm not getting 3g. Any idea? I've got the Apn settings fine
If you're not getting any data signal, I'd revisit your APN settings, triple check them, they're usually the culprit.
