Major issues after all this S-OFF and Rooting, PLEASE HELP!

I am having major problems.
1-Wifi stops working and I have to reboot
2-My phone wont reboot unless I pull the battery.
3-My battery drains VERY quickly in standby.
What on earth should I do? I have S-OFF and I followed the guide to rooting using the PG58IMG file.
Please, could someone help?
Also, setcpu doesnt stick after reboot and adfree doesnt work at all. TB works fine as does root explorer.

One important point to remember is that this is a BETA! They made that clear. I had all the same problems, said to hell with that and used the RUU to put everything back to stock, now it is fine. I'd wait for a stable release (and CM7) before you try again. These problems seem to be common.

So, by going back to stock, you lose root but maintain S-OFF correct?
Matt

That is correct

I followed the Unrevoked guide, s-off, install CWM via the program, wifi/reboot/battery all good here!

You lose s-off... I know I had it happen, your results may vary, but I did lose s-off after running the RUU...
I also followed the guide to the letter, (this is not the first or the last I have s-off'ed/rooted), so I am not a noob, but I can only report what has happend to me. I may try again this afternoon for fun, BUT until CM7 comes out for the sensation, I probably won't waste my time.

The thing people need to remember, with this being "beta" these issues have to be dealt with one at a time. Eventually it will be a true one step process. Seems like a lot to go through for so little. BUT now that the Source Kernel has been released by HTC, Now that s-off has been achieved it won't be long until a good supply of QUALITY roms will be available.

I am a little scared that I will just get further into trouble. Nothing seems to work right anymore. I cant even turn off my friggen phone the right way anymore...
If I manage to get it back to stock rom, can I use the old temp root methods while I wait for things to be ironed out?

Not always... Read through the forums, there are reports of issues EVEN WITH A CUSTOM ROM! Please don't give false hope. Standard disclaimer should always be, Results May Vary...

Of course you can. But, for example, the wifi problem will be gone if you flash a custom, because it is probably an incompatibility between the boot.img and the modules. Just try flashing a custom

I am new to all this, so I will spend my time getting this back to stock, then temp root , and then wait out a new version....I am DL the stock ROM for TMOUS...
Matt

Hello there,
My first impression on using a Custom ROM on Sensation is awesome. After getting S-OFF and flashing LeeDROiD it seems to run smoother even though it isnt on a custom kernel yet. I guess we will have alot of releases the next days as the kernel source is out from HTC also

My phone was fast as heck after running ADW EX launcher and overclocking. I think I will wait this all out. I was in over my head. Can you guys confirm that following the debranding guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
will get me back to normal? I am ready to flash the rom.zip (renamed to PG58IMG.zip). I am waiting for my battery to charge. ;-)
Matt

I'm not 100% but isn't the PG58IMG file just the kernel?
What Sensation do you have 4G TMOUS?
What is your HBOOT (ex:1.17.0008)?
Can you describe in detail what steps you took from the beginning so we have a clear understanding what you did?
Hope we can help...

Started with 0008, then used revolution to get s-off. After that, I used the pg58IMG file. I was rooted at that point. Once I set setcpu back up, the wifi stopped working. The other troubles started right after the root.
I just reverted to stock, and am setting things back up. Looks like I am still s-off though. Will I be able to use the temp root method still?

That's because that unsecured boot image you used, is incompatible with the modules you have. If you flash a custom ROM, which is uber-easy, the wifi problem, plus the root problems will be gone. Trust me

Alright, I am back to the way things were. I still have s-off, but I am back to the stock ROM and have my phone temp rooted again.
When you guys talk about flashing ROMs, could I just do that as is? Do I need to do anything else, now that I have s-off? Could I just load the ROM on my SD card, then do the same thing I did to get back to stock?

[Q] HTC Sensation rebooting after root

Hi all, I am sorry if this is already posted or answered but I spent all day yesterday searching and reading and cannot find the answer.
I have 2 Htc sensations that I messed up some how and would be very grateful if you could help me with them.
Phone 1 has been rooted for a long time and in preparation for ICS I flashed T-mobil: Download 3.32 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
and now the phone works but it will randomly reboot. I have wiped the cache, delvak cache and battery stats.
I am completely lost please help.
Phone 2 I think I may have messed up real bad here is what I did to it.
I rotted it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I got to step 2 sub step 6 and now it continuously reboots it starts with the white screen with HTC on it then goes to another white screen that says HTC Quietly brilliant for a second and repeats.
Please help me yes I am a noob and grateful for any help.

Wow that was a fun ride (not really) it appears I did not flash the PG58IMG file correctly, after I flashed it correctly I got Insert Coin installed and so far it seems that they both are working. only time will tell.
Thanks anyway guys.

If you are trying to install the latest firmware and having the HTC log restart problem. Try to super wipe on the recovery and install first the 3.12 firmware.

Did you install supercid after root?

Both phones are working fine but I have a new question, I can not get the voice dialer to work ie I long press the button on my plantronics bt and say call tom.
I have tried vlingo from the market and this fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133246
but nothing has worked. is it just not working in Insert Coin rom?

Did I just brick my phone?
I tried to flash the 1.17 firmware and the last step failed, now it wont boot at all just a black screen the only thing it will do is the charge lite will come on bit it stays on after I unplug it.

which of the 2 phones you are talking about?
In a previous post you said that problem was solved, now what?
Also, it would be better to know what your bootloader says and what you were attempting to do before black screen.

Sounds like a brick to me, but since the problem is unclear, it's possible to fix. I wish I could help but I don't understand your issue to be honest!

I had 3.32 on it with Insert Coin ICS and thought I have 2 so might as well restore one to factory setting that's when I tried to flash the 1.17 and it never started again.

The other one is working so I am not messing with it.

I had the same thing happen to me and it was over for the phone. Took it in to tomo and told them it died and after I charged it and went to turn it on, bam, went black and never came back. They never got it to work either and replaced it for me

You mean 1.17 is the hboot?
In this case you installed a hboot for GB while on ICS rom. Obviously it won't work.
If you want to downgrade to GB you can try to run a GB RUU while in bootloader - fastboot usb (if you can still reach it)

No what's happened to him is what happened to me. It's like it gets fried or something. The screen goes black and u can't turn it on or get into bootloader. Tmobile told me when it happened it was dead and got me a new 1

Is phone unresponsive related to Rooting? Should I reroot with fixed phone?

I had sudden unresponsive Sensation that apparently has been fixed / replaced by HTC. I still don't know if this is a hardware or software problem since there seem to be many incidents of these happening on the forum.
In any case, just want some advice...do we think these "unresponsive" issue is related to rooting/ROM...even though it seems to be happening with various ROM. I just wonder if I should try to reroot the repaired phone again.
Also, will the guide for rooting be still valid with maybe some newer firmware/Bootloader that HTC might have reinstalled onto the phone now? I am picking it up today...but I need to unlock the phone to use in Canada..which I did with the guide here before....but I am a little weary about doing it again after what happened!

Maybe it was the rom or some certain thing that you did causing the slow response. Rooting will never ever ever ever lag a phone, custom rims on the other hand usually don't but there's the new ones which still have work to be done. When you get your phone back, boot into bootloader and tell me the hboot version. If its ics I don't think that you can as I think juopuntbear only works on pre rooted phones.
It does seem like the phone itself had some problems.

Well.. the phone came back as HBOOT 1.18...I had to go through the rooting process as I needed to unlock the SIM. So my phone is S-off, rooted, clockwork 5.0.2.0, and super CID.
I am scared to try to install an ICS custom ROM on it now as I am not sure if that process caused the phone to die and there are many phones dying on here running that.
I am thinking maybe I should just update to the official update when it comes out. Hope it's possible with the phone being rooted and S-off etc..

Constant Switching from 4g/3g/edge

So I have used TMOUS rom for ALONG time and recently decided to switch to use Cyanogen being a fan of it form other platforms.
While on the TMOUS rom I had 4g connectivity in my area about 90% of the time with the occasional drop into 3g here and there. It always displayed a 4g image in the top.
When I switched to Cyanogen that pretty much stoped. It always says 3g and is slow as hell. every once in awhile it will say H+ but not for long. MOST of the time it is constantly switching between 3g/4g/edge then shutting off.
Now im not sure if its a rom problem or not, but its making me want to switch back to a TMOUS rom.
Any suggestions would be great!
Edit: Just for clairification, I am S-On

I have this problem as well. I even ran the ruu back to stock and it is still happening. Please and thank you!

I'm thinking it might be a hardware error at this point. I might just "lose my phone" or just flash to stock and return it, this is preposterous.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem
I have been trolling the net for weeks but have not found a solution yet.
I've posted in threads here but no solution.....
My issues started when I went to CM ROM - I used to have great 4g all the time before I went to custom rom (I was on stock TMO US) .. Now no matter what I do, I am not able to get 4G again.... it's really irritating...
I've tried a bunch of custom ROMS.. I am on 1.13 HBOOT and S-ON .. .. CID = HTC__001 (originally my CID was stock TMO US CID whatever that is but now its not that.. I don't wan to run RUU because I don't have TMO US CID and dont want to brick my phone)

You can set your CID back easily with the All in One ToolKit found here.http://www.hasoon2000.info/getdownload.php?file=One%20S/One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v4.0.rar
That is not the problem, unfortunately. It just doesn't make much sense, whatever the problem is; and especially considering after a full RUU restock. That has always fixed whatever mess I have created in the past.

This rom should fix your problem. Dont forget to clear storage from bootloader. It will erase everything thoug. And follow the steps under show contents link.

I not sure if its a CID problem. The only thing I ever did was upgrade to the newest Hboot and load in the CM rom. even going back to the TMOUS rom does not fix the problem.
Its so bad, and never on 4g that im considering getting a new phone.

I'm in the same boat, friend. I've tried literally everything suggested, I'm just wondering what exactly happened in the flashing of the Maximus rom. The worst part being is that I GET 3g/H and then it drops back to E. It's so strange. The only thing I've not done is contact Tmobile about it, and i highly doubt that they would throttle my bandwidth without contacting me in some form or fashion.

From what I've read, it's doable; even with an unlocked phone. But I'd really like to know what in the dev's source code made this happen... it's a bit ridiculous.

I just wanted to say, that I did this and it worked!
I did this the first time, but i just flashed the rom with a full wipe.
This time what I did was go into TWRP and erased everything....and I mean everything except TWRP.
After that i flashed the rom and boot.img and everything works great. 4g all the time again!
Sucks that im back on an older version of jellybean, but oh well

So what I did first was go into TWRP and selected wipe. Inside wipe i selected EVERYTHING, every little box. Then Wiped it.
This left nothing on the phone but the recovery. I then loaded on SuperSU from TWRP. I download the stock TMOUS rom that was posted earlier in this post.
In TWRP I mounted it and hooked it to computer and transfered the rom over.
Once the rom was on I did the install of the rom.
I rebooted the rom into bootloader.
Once in bootloader i put it into fastboot.
I had previous extracted the boot.img from the rom.
I sent the boot.img over via fastboot which restarted the phone.
Once it got all started up. No issues. I am on 4g 99% of the time now.
Im thinking the issue was definatly based in the CM rom.
Since this worked I wanted to test things out since my phone was pretty much stripped of everything.
I tried out Viper rom and a couple of other non CM based roms, and I have had no issues.
IM back on teh TMOUS rom though. Wifi calling will win over when i go overseas.

Thanks, but it did not work for me. It is a hardware issue on mine. Thanks again

Must be.
I did find something out though doing all my research. Did you ever at any point update the radio? TMobile uses some frequencies that some companies dont use.
It is my understanding that some of these roms are packed with radios that are generic and thus ment for multi carriers.
Not sure if thats your issue, but might want to look into.
Its nice being back on 4g though.

Ugh am I bricked?

I've been flashing custom roms to my asus transformer for a couple years now so I'm fairly accustomed to the process. Now that my warranty has expired on my one s I decided to go custom to try and get a bit more battery life and performance from my phone.
steps I took:
unlocked bootloader successfully
installed twrp successfully
installed su and rooted successfully
changed to supercid successfully
S-off unsuccessful. I wasnt paying as much attention as I should have and for whatever reason I thought I had s-off
flashed maximushd rom
then attempted to flash the kernel for maximus obviously didnt work because I had s-on
then I was stuck at the point where my phone was basically a black screen and all I could do is get the buttons on the bottom of the screen to flash. Eventually I made it into the bootloader, twrp was gone or corrupted. Managed to reinstall twrp from fastboot and get it working.
within twrp I was able to push a rom into the internal sd and flash it (cant remember which one atm). phone restarted and was then stuck in a 30ish second bootloop of the htc quietly brilliant screen. tried a couple other roms which wouldnt flash. at this point I went home (i dont have a computer at my house, just android based tablet and xbmc box).
At home I got the idea the roms i'm trying to flash might not be compatible with hboot 2.15. I downloaded and tried older roms that would match my hboot of 2.15. Varying success on these but still unable to boot to phone os.
Here is what ive tried and what results i had with them:
zenrom_v1.05_2.31RUUbased.zip = Wont flash just gives failed message
Toasted_marshmellow-ville.zip = This one flashed, reboot phone goes past htc screen to the custom boot.img then endlessly replays the .gif (highly disaapointed at this point)
mdob_ville_bm_deodex_2.40.zip = phone stays off and can only get lights to flash if i hold power
Blackout_ics_sense_plus_RC2.zip = phone hangs on white htc screen
Anyone got any idea where I can go from here? Am i hooped or am I just missing something obvious?

Ended up bringing my phone to a shop which fixed it and installed a new power button as my old one was shot for $65. One thing he did which pissed me off though is install cm 10.1 instead of maximushd like i asked him. not that big of a deal but my signal is horrible now. with stock I used to get 2-3 bars in my rom now im lucky to get 1, and infront of my house where i constantly had full sigal i'm lucky to get 2 or 3 with drops of no signal and dropped calls. Is this because of the rom or the radio? Tried the ota update to 10.2 which freezes the phone on startup, then had to go back and get him to reflash the rom again. its a 10min walk each way and I'm tired of walking back and forth in the rain!

You don't need to be s-off to install custom rom's like cyanogenmod but you will need to flash boot.img after the rom is flashed.
