S-off
S-Off, it might be for some countries, in "ASIA" they got the "PYRAMID" with S-OFF and in the Rest of the "WORLD" we got the "SENSATION" with S-ON. Might be am wrong and its only an opinion.
If ur bootloader is stuck, dude bring it back to ur customer service. Guarantee Plays.

im calling bs on this one... unless this person got a dev. phone

Try using recovery from bootloader menu.

Probally no Rom installed? Just my 2cents.

Remove battery and try to perform a hard reset using phone buttons (power and volume down, at least thats what it is on my desireS).
Have you tried removing SIM and/or the SD card.

Brothers, mine is a Eng device.
I tried to enter recovery . But the screen go blank.
even I go thru fastboot mode. or (Vol up + power)
I tried to directly flash RUU rom. it shown the rom version 1.XX so it should be a rom inside.once the screen show going to bootloader, the device come to blank screen again. and never go thru.
I have try original battery , and a 3rd party battery. It come with the same result.
with / without Micro SD card , Sim card. come out the same result.
I think I will try to flash the "zip" rom m-deejay by using SDK command.
see what is next....

drool... will buy it off you if you dont get it booted

Seems too busy forgot to let everyone what is the result.
Finally , I flash the zip file thru recovery mode. It work fine. The phone boot up.
But seems the screen is not sensitive as the one selling on the street.

[Q] I need SERIOUS help here...

I have never rooted or any of that stuff. I will admit I had quite a bit of apps installed on my phone. I recently did an update and everything seemed fine. The other day I restarted my phone and it would not boot back up. It loops on it's own into the white screen with HTC on it. During the black screen I can hold down my buttons and get into HBOOT but no type of recovery or factory reset works. I did get it to boot into the OS once after this happened but once it lost the charge it will not boot up again. When I have my SD card in all these messages come up saying that some IMG.zip files are missing. When no SD is in it just shows the HBOOT screen. I cannot recover or Factory Reset either way.
My HBOOT screen reads
***LOCKED***

Once again I AM NOT IN ANY WAY ROOTED (have no clue what half of you guys are talking about on this forum LOL) and when I select Recovery or Factory Reset, whether my SD card is in or out it just continues to loop.
HOW CAN I FIX THIS THING?

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033 and follow from "download ruu"

How can I make sure USB debugging is turned on if I can't boot into my OS... I think it is but.... *sigh*

Did you do anything to your phone before that happened?

No. Nothing that should cause this. It had been showing the HTC screen a lot during navigation back to my home screen. I usually restart and this minimizes that action but this time it would not get past the HTC screen. I tried starting from where he told me. When I tried to flash the ROM it kept saying "battery voltage too low replace a battery" although it had been charging. When it charges the light never turns green like it used to. When I unplug the charger the orange light stays on. I finally tried it again and it said something about couldn't update, installed version is older. I did not do the S-OFF in the post he referred me to because I cannot boot into my regular home screen like it asks me to in some of those steps.

If you haven't done anything to it, leave it up to tmobile to fix it.
If s is on and you weren't rooted or. running a diff Rom just have tmobile worry about it.

Stuck on Bootscreen / Cant use hboot menu

So i woke up to a non-responding phone this morning. Power-On would not work. Rebooted by taking off battery. It is stuck on HTC boot screen. I can go into Hboot and i can go up/down the menu but whenever i wanna select an option with the power button it will go straight to the HTC boot screen and im stuck again.
Im using AlphaRev S-off Hboot 6.98.1002, Radio-38.03.02.11_M, eMMC-boot. I installed it last year and its working fine since then. I havent fiddled around with it since then.
I dont care about the data on the phone. I just want it working again. So any solution is okay with me.
Is there some kind of self-flashing/installing rom i can put on the sd-card so i dont have to use the hboot menu?
UPDATE:
I managed to install another rom. Everything worked fine during installation. Then the first startup took ages. When asked to enter sim-code the touchscreen was not responsive at all. Meaning it did not react to anything. Power-On button is functioning a bit weird - sometimes not working at all , sometimes with delay.
Is this some kind of known bug or is the phone broken?

Best solution is RUU. If problem persists, consult your phone to work properly. :silly:

If you have a GoldCard, you shouldn't worry about that. If you don't, then you should.

Im in the actual android system again now. It worked for like 5 minutes, flawlessly. Now im back to freezing and total lock up again.

[Q] Inspire stuck on htc boot screen

I tried rooting my inspire with aahk but in the process the phone restarted and ended up getting stuck on the htc boot screen. I've tried to go into the hboot screen and do a factory reset and recovery but every time it goes into the same htc boot screen and just freezes on there. What could be the problem and what can i do to remedy this problem and get my phone operating properly again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

What version of firmware did your phone come with, Froyo or Gingerbread? What exactly happened with AAHK? As in, how far did you get in AAHK? What does HBOOT say from the top to FASTBOOT?

You should have read the manual. It covers what to do in case of errors. Now that you did a factory reset you disabled USB debugging. List what your hboot screen says and also try entering recovery to see if that got flashed.

Based on the radio and boot version it looks like your on 2.47.502
You need to reflash the ruu and start all over. Look at the sticky I have in the general. Their I have a link to the ruus.
If that ruu doesn't work you could always try the 3.20 version.

This may be a stupid question but how do I get the computer to see my phone. I downloaded the new ruu but when is searched or prepares the phone it cant find it.

Boot your phone into hboot.
Pull battery.
Reinsert battery and hold volume down and power
Once in boot select fast boot.
Then plug in your phone should read fast boot USB. Then you run the ruu

Hello, I have a an HTC Inspire 4G and it won't turn on. And I can't get into HBOOT. I tried the AAHK method and now it seems to be perma-bricked. It's not even mine. It sometimes turns on, constantly vibrating. I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please Help!!

so i rooted my HTC Sensatation and all that good stuff. everything was great. i tried to flash CM10 jellybean but my batter was low so as i was flashingg its stuck on the screen and wont go past it. it just stays on that screen like its trying to boot but wont boot. Also i didnt backup my stock phone....its not brick its a soft brick this is what i know. how do i get my phone back working? please help me!!! anything to point me in the right direction would be a great help....thank you

It would be good to have some more information about your device. S-off/S-on? What revovery do you have? If you are S-ON search for Asskicker's guide in the general section "Flashing roms with S-ON".

I used the htc one x tool to root and its s_off. Im usong cwm recovery. I thonks its on a soft brick because I didnt have it chrged qhen I tried to flaah it. What othr info do u need? I justt put the s_on back on thinking that would help but it didnt. Im all out of ideas I know my phone can be aaved I juat need help. What so I do???

Right it is quite difficult to understand what you are writing. So are you currently S-OFF or S-ON? What is you current HBOOT version?
By the way! Why did you use the ONE X tool? I know it is stated somewhere you may use it for the Sensation as well but there are other utilities tailored for the Sensation. Like kgs1992's All in One Utility! You should use that and you cannot go wrong! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276

You want to be s-off (because life is easier when you are s-off)
For whatever reason, maybe low battery related, it sounds like your ROM didn't flash. This wasn't a big deal until you turned S-on again, thus making it more difficult to do these things.
Did the recovery give you any error during the flash? What screen is it stuck on? The splash screen (HTC logo) the boot animation (Blue circle with CyanogenMod in the middle) the recovery screen (mostly basic text telling you error messages)
If it's stuck on the splash screen....we'll discuss that as need
If it's stuck in the recovery screen giving you an error that you can't flash with the battery so low, charge the battery. Proceed with flashing.
If it's stuck on the boot animation...chill out and give it a few minutes. It takes time to boot the first time. If it stays on the boot animation for more than 10 minutes, reflash the ROM with the instructions below.
Turn s-off again if you can.
Boot back into recovery
Do a full wipe in CWM
Flash the ROM again.
If that doens't work download a fresh copy of the ROM and flash that instead.
If you're still stuck come back with VERY SPECIFIC details on what is on the screen where it gets stuck. And please, read your post first and correct gramatical errors. I assure you this will greatly help the XDA community to be able to help you instead of us trying to guess what you are saying.

I just turned on my HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile. Currently i put the phone back into the S-ON and when i go to the bootloader it says "SECURITY WARNING" Matter of fact this is what my screen reads exactly when i power it on in bootloader mode.
