Hello Guys, Im new to this forum but I love it! I have a issue with my htc sensation, I tried flashing a Rom and it got stuck in boot loop.
When i press the volume down and power i get this...
-Revolutionary-

hboot 1.27.1100
radio 10.14.9035.01_m
emmc-boot
jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
now I thought i could fix this since im always flashing roms but at this point ill put any rom on just to get it to work and ill leave it alone forever!
this is what i have all done already
-i already factory reset everything and download the super wipe and flashed it then flashed a rom and noting!
-ive tried using roms that are gingerbread instead of ics and nothing!
-ive tried flashing different roms, and nothing!
-
now here is what i think i dont have the 3.32 firmware but to be completely honest and i have gone to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 but i dont know my cid so idk which one to download but i did try 3 and when i try to flash that zip in recovery it says "aborted" and usually when i put it on the root of the card it doesnt read it like ive read it is suppose to ask you if you want to update..
all i know is when i take the battery out its pg5100
i really need help, ive tried everything and i know its fixable i dont wanna give up!
so any help will be great! in advance thank you so much! im loosing sleep trying to fix it this!
I'm assuming you didn't flash the firmware yet right? The easiest way to flash a firmware is to get super cid (11111111). Go hereand follow step 4. Then you can flash this without worrying. The second link is just to the 3.32 firmware.
didn't you super CID? try to super CID...follow fourth step here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
then get the 3.32 firmware. your CID will be 11111111 so anyone will work for you.
your main problem is the firmware, don't worry

Ya seems as though all of the links are down grab a 3.32 firmware from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 Just place the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd and press the volume down and power the phone should automatically detect the zip and ask to update. Make sure you have a good amount of battery.

Does your bootloader say fastboot USB?
Look mate, your Hboot ver is 1.27 S OFF Revolutionary which means you have the right firmware installed. If you really want to be helped, tell me what recovery you're using.
EDIT: Uninstall all HTC related applications from the PC & Install these drivers.

Good. You will now be installing 4ext recovery.
After recovery has been installed, reboot to recovery.
Select wipe|format.
Select format all partitions except SD Card.
Then install your ROM.

It's "PG58IMG.zip" not P"S"G58IMG.zip. If the name is incorrect, then it won't work.
You cannot do it from recovery, you must do it only from bootloader.
The reason I'm insisting on 4EXT is because it's much easier to use.
Follow my instructions properly.
And if you find all this difficult, just go to my tool, link in signature.
When it asks you to connect in HTC Sync mode with debugging enabled, just boot to recovery instead.

Hello!
My HTC Sensation XE have gone in a bootloop after i rooted it. I've tried several ROMs, and I can't figure how to make the loop stop.
I'm able to go in hboot, and 4EXT recovery.
My hboot looks like this;

Any idea how to make the loop stop?
I want to use the HyperSensation rom, if u need to know that to help me!
Thx for answers!
Did you wipe before installing the rom? If not this is what is causing your issue! In recovery you need to do the wipe.
Hope this helps! The thank button is there for a reason!

If you mean putting a ROM on the SD card, and flash it via 4ext, then yes. Thats the only way ive tried to flash roms. Might that be the reason for the loop?
Radio?
Shoudln't the hboot say something about radio?
mine doesn't, but it I remember that it did the first time i went in Hboot.
If that's the problem, how can i fix it?

my phone is locked to "Telenor"(I live in Norway). Telenor is a phone company.
May that be my problem? and how can i remove the sim lock?

First thing first do the whole first Step of this guide to S-OFF your Sensation. Do it very carefully and follow all steps!. Don't get bored to read.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY Find your CID and MID as the thread says (I recommend using the method 1. fastboot getvar cid
2. fastboot getvar mid). Then download the correct firmware from the same thread corresponding to your CID. The correct version is 3.32 if you want to flash ICS roms. Just find the correct one to download.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
to install a custom recovery. There is a file called "Recovery flash guide - READ ME.txt". Do as it says EXACTLY .
Then just download whatever rom you want, place it on your sd and flash it using the Install zip from sd-card option located in the recovery (access it by pressing volume up+power when the phone is turned off)
This is a guide for a specific ROM (Android Revolution HD) but the procedure is similar for any ROM. just flash different zip

We use ODIN only for samsung phones. We only install flashable .zip files on Sensation XE

that's the problem with HTC dev unlocked bootloader....
umm... without going into technical details..
we can say that
the bootloader that you have right now only support stock kernels...(it's not a bug in other kernels it's just that your bootloader doesn't fully support other kernels)
also s-off is not possible right now if you are on 1.27 HBOOT
btw you are flashing custom kernels by using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command right?
so my advice is stick with stock kernel until soff for 1.27 comes

EDIT: if you are not using the above mentioned method for flashing kernels..then extract the corresponding boot.img of the kernel you want from the rom's zip file (will present in kernel(s) folder) and flash the boot.img by using above mentioned command and see if the wifi issue got resolved

tnks but i don't flash custom kernels by using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" i only do install from 4ext recovery

Just extract the boot.img from either the

Will this work with my wifi issue? My phone was unrooted and i upgraded to ics over air. I got my wifi problem a few days later, so now i have used htc dev to unlock my phone... but im unsure what to do now? I havent even tried to loads any roms as i have s-on and can only use roms with the same sofware or higher? Is this right?

Recently HTC has rolled out a 15 MB update which supposedly fixes WiFi and Bluetooth issues....can you check your software update again ....you might get it ...otherwise it is available in ARHD Rom thread as a zip file (ics_ota.zip search on ARHD thread) which can be flashed using
Recovery....but for you to have custom recovery you need to unlock your bootloader.... So its your choice
sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
Yes i got that 15mg software update, no change whatsoever. My bootloader is already unlocked isnt it? My steps were: -
Bought New Phone
Upgraded to ics over air
wifi problems after a few days
unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV method so still have S-ON
I now just want best advice to load a custom rom and what rom

Hello there,
I currently have a problem whereas my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo. I only unlocked the bootloader and I tried flashing a recovery with a htc all in one toolkit, this didn't work for me so I tried flashing it manually and this didn't work either. I need to somehow get a recovery on this phone else I might be bricked :/.
Anyone have any advice?

Yes that is the only thing, and when I do a factory reset I can acces CWM, that's all there is. I have acces to a micro SD if that helps. Currently on clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0.
I want to try to copy the viper 3.0.1 rom on my sd, put it back in my phone and flash that. Would that work? I didn't have S-off yet.

Okey, so CWM is working but you can't access Android.
If that's the case you should try to run a RUU (it is carrier specific if you have a branded phone!).
Or you can S-OFF it, make yourself SuperCID and then flash a ROM. (This will most likely void your warenty)

My main language isn't english, thats why it is hard to understand how to get S-off. I tried having a look at Juopunutbears method but I got stuck because you needed root first. And I thought that i had to get root by flashing cwm. I would love to root this phone and install custom roms, I can always go back with an RUU. Can you tell me what the next step is?

May I ask what your main language is?
I'm not sure but it may be enoigh if you just flash supersu libs with CWM and then try juopunut's method. It may work even if you can't boot in your ROM.
For the RUU you'll have to google for "Htc sensation ruu vodafone" together with you country. Or you could look up your CID over fastboot by typing in fastboot getvar cid and then combine the cid with your search request. This would be the safest Method.

Only thing I need to get now is root so I can start doing the juopunut method
edit: Clockworkmod wont let me mount the usb storage OR mount the SD card. So theres that..
Download this zip http://download.chainfire.eu/204 , put it on your SD and flash it with CWM. Then try Juopunut.

You'll have to look up your bootloader version. You can see it in the bootloader on the top. If the number is 1.2xxxx then you have to do this method. If it's 1.1xxxxx then there is a much esier method to get S-OFF.

Just do juopunut without the temp root. As far as I can remember you don't have to access the OS in order to get S-OFF.

Everything went well, flashed the superuser, went to use the program to get S-off, tried using the wire trick but it failed a few times. Turned it off and had to leave, after that won't come on again, won't boot at all. I'll plug it in the wall overnight and see what happens.

It worked! I am now locked and s-off on hboot 1.27.
Left the phone plugged in without battery/sd/sim and it booted up again this morning.

First I flashed this Frimware (3.33) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (don't forget to set SuperCID before that!) and then I wiped my phone, formated System and flashed the ROM I wanted to have.

Hello there guys,
Been trying to root my XL from Telstra (AUS) but some weird things are going on.
Can't figure out why i'm unable to to SuperCid my phone, my current Supercid is TELST001
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
Also, tried to root my phone using this thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859478
So far, I have achieved to Installed S-OFF and CWM.
What i'm trying to do here is to use any 4.22 Android Rom with sense 5, like CleanROM or CyanogenMod 10
Im uploading some of the current photos taken so you guys can have more information on S-OFF and CWM.
Thanks in advance.
Ps: One of the pictures was a Failed OTA from Telstra, is there a way to go back to and be able to install the OTA from Telstra instead of any custom ROM (In case we cant find what is causing the phone to block the supercid and the super SU)
Ota won't work with a custom recovery.
I am running MagioR4 sense 5 4.2.2 you can install that now without doing anything else to your phone. There are a few others as well, but this is only one I've been running so I can't say much about others, but assume they will work out just as well.

Hi there mate,
Tried to run Super Su and shows as the phone been not rooted, i'm a bit confused atm.
Is there a need to Super Cid and if i were to use the OTA, can i remove the custom recovery?

That's the carrier ID (CID) not SuperCID. SuperCID is 11111111 or 22222222. I think you know that, but let's get the terms right to avoid confusion.
You don't have S-off. It says right in your screenshot that the phone is still s-on.
But you it says UNLOCKED, so your bootloader is unlocked. All S-on means is that you can still install custom ROMs, you just have to flash boot.img seperately from fastboot.
As mentioned, you have to return to stock recovery in order to be able to install OTAs. Easiest way is to RUU back to stock. But be completely sure you are not SuperCID, otherwise S-on + SuperCID + Jellybean RUU = BRICK.
Personally, going stock just to install the stock 4.2.2 ROM is a step backward, not forward, as you already have an unlocked bootloader and cutom recovery. But you also seem confused about a number of things. I would suggest reading and more fully understanding the concepts and processes before proceeding with any further mods to the phone.

Unlocking the bootloader does't root the phone. You can flash an SU package in recovery to obtain root, or flash a rooted ROM.
You don't need SuperCID for anything but s-off.

CleanROM is neither 4.2.2 nor Sense 5. CM10 is an AOSP ROM, so by definition not a Sense ROM at all.

No you've got it backwards. The boot.img goes in your fastboot folder on your pc, not on your phone.
You need to fastboot flash the boot.img from each ROM you want to flash. So, if you want to install CM10.2, you must extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and put it in your fastboot folder on your pc (not your sd card in your phone). Then you put the ROM zip on your phone, and install it in recovery (after wiping cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system), then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img using fastboot. You must follow this process for each new ROM you want to flash.
Do a backup of your current setup in recovery before flashing anything new though.

It would be highly beneficial for you to read the top post of any ROM thread you want to install, as the dev usually has some important info. In the ROM you linked, it clearly says:
Installation Instructions (These are all required)
1.S-Off your device (Do this before RUU'ing and it will not wipe your /sdcard).
2.Update to 3.18 RUU.
Also, at a minimum, I will read the last few pages (most recent) of the ROM thread, just to see if there are any prominent bugs or, issues or useful tips being discussed.

I think you are misunderstanding what I mean when I say "flash the boot.img using fastboot". You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to flash (boot.img us often specific to the ROM). With boot.img on your computer, flash it to the phone using fastboot.
There are ways to flash boot.img without a computer. But since you specifically mentioned fastboot, the file does not go on your SD card in this case.
But again, this is not particularly applicable to CM10.2, since the dev is specifically recommending to have s-off before flashing. S-off means you do not have to flash boot.img seperately (it happens automatically when you flash the ROM in recovery).
Also, the phone does have an SD, its just not removable. Think of it as a virtual SD card.

Hi there,
Im trying to Update the RUU as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382933
However, I'm getting an error called 155, which says that Im trying to install the wrong RUU
I was trying to update the RUU, then restart the phone, went into S-off, then into recovery and Wipe factory/data reset, then install the CM10.2 build
Is something missing here?
Thanks.
Which RUU are you trying to install? The 3.18 RUU suggested at the start of the thread?
My suggestion is to get s-off first, and you need to get SuperCID before you get s-off. Flash any rooted sense ROM from the development section, you need root to get SuperCID.

I think this is a lost cause. You aren't even reading what people have replied to you. I clearly stated in post #4 above, you DO NOT have s-off.
Right in your second screen shot (white bootloader screen) it says S-ON (third line of text). This means you DO NOT HAVE S-OFF.

Like Redpoint just said, you can't install an RUU from another carrier (the 3.18 RUU is at&t) while you're s-on. You don't have s-off, look at the screenshots you attached earlier, in your bootloader it says s-on. You have an unlocked bootloader which is an entirely different thing.
Unless you've flashed a superuser zip or flashed a rooted ROM you don't have root. Root just means that you have administrative access to system files in a ROM. The real thing you need to install custom ROMs is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
I'm gonna be honest, you're in over your head and you're ignoring good advice which was given to prevent you from damaging your phone.
You really have two choices: either do a hell of a lot of reading until you have a firm understanding of what you're doing, or leave your phone alone. The way you're going right now you're on track to destroy your phone.

I have not ignored your advised, It rather hard to understand all this, since there is no Indication for the right RUU, since the thread i'm looking at, does not mention anything in regards of using a different RUU.

Are you able to do some prompts in regards of what to do?
So far, IMAO I need to to this:
Flash the Correct RUU (Gotta find it first)
Use S-off to Install the Custom ROM (ROM is already copied to the phone's memory)
Install the new Custom ROM, however, not to sure about the GApps, which are google apps.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1kbeoh/gapps_20130813_for_android_43_and_20130812_for/
I guess that you need to copy them before you install the new ROM?

As you've been told at least 3 times now, what you should do is READ READ READ.
None of this is hard to understand once you start diving into it and learning.
I'm personally not going to spoonfeed you any more steps (and suggest against doing it either), as shortcutting the learning process is only going to turn your phone into an expensive paperweight.

We're getting there, here are the exact steps you need to take:
1) Read a lot.
2) Read some more.
3) Flash a superuser zip on your current stock ROM, or flash a rooted Sense ROM so you have root.
4) Get SuperCID.
5) Get s-off.
6) RUU to latest.
7) Flash whatever ROM you want.

Thanks for the help, will leave it as it is until I feel more confident about how to get this thing going.

Just go to our Android Development section here and flash one of the new Sense 5 ROMs. They're already rooted.
Don't get information/software from anywhere except XDA by the way.

He is already on 2.14 hboot I'm not even sure why he's trying to ruu.

Good catch. I missed that.
To the OP: you don't need to RUU to install cm10.2 on your device as you already have the required hboot/firmware. Without s-off you will need to manually flash the boot.img using fastboot though.
