Hi guys, i have a problem with my Sensation, OTA ICS update giving me boot loop
So here's the story:
I used custom ROM, then decided to go back to stock ROM
Flash RUU 2.3.4 then S-on, all seems normal at this point
OTA update a few times to ICS
First few update phone still normal, then ICS update and boot loop
Now the main problem:
I can't seem to do anything anymore to the phone
Phone is locked with HBOOT 1.27.000
When I try to go to recovery or factory reset it just goes to boot screen and boot loop
Steps I have tried:
Try to install RUU again by renaming zip file to PG58IMG.zip and it just says version is outdated (or similar, I forgot)
Try to flash various firmware using bootloader, but it just says parsing zip file then nothing
Try to flash firmware using CMD (flash zip) with admin privilege, but it says not allowed
Try to flash recovery img (Stock, CWM, 4ext), using CMD it says OK but nothing changes
Try to flash boot img (Stock, customs from Revolution HD 6.6.7) it says OK but nothing changes
Unlocked bootloader using HTCdev then retried all the steps above still the same
Please help, I don't know what else I can do...
Sorry if too long and confusing...
If your at the boot loader then it look like you can access fastboot. If you can there is a program called android flasher ( for windows computers and can be found in the sensation thread here on xda, if not i can upload it to dropbox for you). You can flash img's from there. Also make sure to read all instructions carefully because the Htc dev unlock has issues with bootloaders (BE CAREFUL), the revolutionary method is better, and give you a full unlock.

Hey Darryll, thanks for the response
I tried the android flasher, but when I tried to flash boot.img, it says error, your phone needs ENG bootloader.
I don't thinkI can use the revolutionary method tight now, because my hboot is already at 1.27.000
Do you know what might be causing the boot loop for my phone?

I was originally on GB rom, then I downloaded the OTA to ICS from my sensation 4g. Everything (The OTA) installed fine but when it booted the device i just get the white HTC and then it reboots and does the same thing over and over. I've tried all of the same things beeha tried and I've gotten the same results. Just a boot loop.

What happens when you enter recovery? Btw when I say recovery I meant stock recovery only
Also that remote not allowed shouldn't come when you have unlocked bootloader
Can you post the exact command you've used?

As the title says. I received an HTC Desire S, which is stuck on the htc screen, from my friend. It won't boot and it seems like a brick.
I can although enter the bootloader with power button + volume down.
These are the following information:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT -0.98.0002
RADIO - 3805.06.02.03_M
eMMC - boot

I tried flashing a RUU, but that didn't work. I think the major problem is with the S being ON. Is there any way I can boot this device at all? It's kinda of a shame since it's basically in a good as new condition...
Thanks for all the help in advance!
What happened when you tried ruu? Error?
Device should still be covered by original warranty

The installation gets stuck at "Rebooting into bootloader".
I don't know about the warranty, but I'll tell him to return it if all else fails.
Are you sure that the necessary drivers are installed on the PC?
does the ruu give any errors? Or is that what you said above
If you enter the boot loader can you perform a full data reset? Any errors?
Swyped from my DesireS
Boot into bootloader, switch to fastboot mode (select FASTBOOT with volume keys and press Power), connect USB, see that you have correct drivers and the phone is recognized, run the RUU. It'll work.
Hi SlashSpeed,
propably you got the same problem like me. No solution for me so far:

What error returns on flashing the RUU?
Hi
Try S-OFFing your phone from revolutionary.io and flash one of the pre-rooted roms

This is not possible without adb or recovery?!
So here's my findings so far.
I tried running RUU from fastboot mode. No errors, installation gets stuck at "Rebooting into bootloader". I waited for over 2 hours and nothing happened. My PC recognizes the bootloader as "Android Bootloader interface" and fastboot as "My htc" in device manager.
I also tried running PG88IMG.zip with no luck. It gets stuck at [2] BOOTLOADER - Updating and nothing happens, even after hours.
The only think I have left for now, is the goldcard method it seems. I'll try it with my HTC G1 and report back.
Edit: Actually, I have no idea how to perform the goldcard method...some help would be much appreciated.
As he hasn't unlocked the device he should still be covered over the original warranty

Actually, I asked him about that a couple of days ago and apparently, the device is not in warranty anymore. So unless I can fix it somehow, it's dead for good..
You need to unlock the device and S-off it before flashing a Custom Rom.
First follow this thread:
[GUIDE] How to S-OFF your 1.47.x ROM with Revolutionary
Then follow this thread:
[Info] After Revolutionary: install Clockworkmod, root & more
Or install 4ext and install 4Ext Recovery with the install button.
After your done, flash your desired rom. I would recommend Endymion Rom
If you want a stock rom let me know.
Hope this helped you, if not report back.

Did you install a custom recovery and can you still get into it? if yes then try wiping cache and dalvik cache and then restarting...
also answer post above did you separately run the
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
command?

I read through the first link you sent me and I need to have the device turned on with USB Debug on. I can't do that, since it's stuck on the HTC screen. I can only access the bootloader and fastboot.

Wait, do I need to do those steps that are quoted or just with the windows batch script?
I have to do the quoted steps a-g with my HTC Dream, so I presume I'll have to use that device for the adb as well?
Sorry for this sort of questions, I have never done these things before.
I'm sorry if it has been posted before. I did do a search but found no situation like mine. The thing is I did a normal rom flash then the phone stuck on the boot animation screen. I tried to do full wipe then flash a new rom but it couldn't help. I even used several RUUs and managed to get back to S-ON but the problem stays. Now on the bootloader screen it says:
LOCKED
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RUUs I have used RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266171_signed.exe and RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_TMOUS_3.32.531.14_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed.exe They all run successfully but when phone boots still stuck on the boot screen.
CID is 11111111
I would be appreciated if anyone could help. Sorry again if it is a noob question.
The fact you've s-on'd your phone again means if you want to flash a ROM you need to turn on smartflash in 4ext recovery. It should work then.

Thank you for your help. I got a "remote: signature verify fail" error when try to flash 4ext in fastboot. I also got a signature verify fail error when flashing the jb_hboot.zip from unlimited.io/hboot-downloads. Any idea?
Sorry I don't. My knowledge of fastboot commands is limited. Do you already have 4ext recovery? For the signature failure you can also disable sig verification in recovery. Same menu where you enable smartflash iirc. But to save yourself a lot of hassle I'd try s-off your device again.

best you can do is relock bootloader and run the ruu. in bootloader run "fastboot oem lock" then run the ruu right away.

i would still poke around and see if you still have the same camera issue running stock. there is also an updated ota for telstra 2.40.841.4 but if you haven't unlocked using htcdev you might have problems getting root. it might also cause you to have to flash boot.img manually but im not sure since im on at&t.

DivineLord, I also want to revert to the original Telstra ROM. But when I access FASTBOOT the only 'lock' command I see is "SIMLOCK". Is this the option I need to activate to achieve the "fastboot oem lock"?
You hook up the phone to the computer and type that in a command prompt in fastboot like when you unlocked

There are two problems with this post.
1) You're in the wrong device forum, this is the HTC One XL forum.
2) What you're talking about isn't relevant to the thread you've posted in.
You need to head over to the HTC One X forum and ask there, we simply don't have experience with your device here.

Try this though, retrieve the boot.img from within the Viper ROM zip, put it in your fastboot folder, connect your phone in bootloader mode, and issue this command:

but happily there is an unblock Project here on XDA and it worked for me.
My phone now run the stock 4.0.3 ICS version from HTC.
When i now try to root my Sensation i got the message from control bear that my device is already s-off, but all other apps&programms which need root doesn't work.
I already followed the S-on guide but it didn't help me.
Have some of u maybe an idea how i can get back my root access ?

the networks shows connect ....
and than jump back to saved ...
maybe 4ext doesn't work because the bootloader is s-on ?

when you are trying to flash 4ext does your hboot screen says fastboot usb?
do you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings?
try to flash another recovery and see if you have access
yeah it is fastboot usb and debugging is for sure on otherwise adb wouldnt recognize my phone ^^
i tried now to flash cwm with image and with rom manager but both didn't work

Use a ruu.exe to return to stock
Relock first the bootloader
After ruu installation unlock bootloader again and flash 4ext
See then if you have access

no didn't worked
relocked the bootloader .... installed the newest sensation eu ruu ..... unlocked the bootloader with my Unlock_Code.bin .....
flashed recovery ..... the same problem .... rooted the phone .... tried again ..... no succes

very strange
it is impossible after ruu and after recovery's installation that you still can't enter to recovery
are you sure you are doing everything correctly?(about recovery)
i am out of ideas right now
edit : previously i think i gave the command in the wrong way
put the recovery.img in your adb and fastboot folder and then do this command
fastboot reboot recovery.img or fastboot reboot recovery recovery.img (i don't remember exactly)
yeah im sure that i do everything right, is it maybe possible that with the unbrick guide i damage something

Are you supercid?
Change the CID to the one which matches the ruu you flashed and try

hi guys, ill try and keep it as brief as poss.
Phone was rooted working fine, dropped the phone and cracked the screen so sent for repair. Repair shop returned it back to stock :/
Left phone stock and working fine for a couple of months, accidentally let phone fully discharge and think it damaged the battery. Bought a new battery but the phone just boot loops. Can get into Hboot but when i choose recovery it just starts boot looping again. In a panic i flashed a 3.33 firmware but made no difference. Can someone give me a step by step how to sort? thanks!!
Phone says :
-firmware- 3.33-
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot 1.27.1100
emmc-boot
Im guessing its also locked because when i do the oem lock in command prompt its saying device is locked. cheers all.

If i connect fastboot-usb and use the command prompt to flash a recovery i get (error-partition doesnt exist!!)
Can i put any recovery on the sd card and somehow load it without using the recovery option?

Thanks mile_zdr. My Bad. Looks like it wrote ok (writing "recovery" ... OKAY) when i reboot and choose recovery option it still boot loops. :/ maybe im flashing the wrong recovery? Should any sensation recovery work?
Edit : Just flashed the sensation clockwork mod recovery successfully but still getting the boot loop when i hit recovery in the boot loader.

then try again with recovery

Thank you so much guys, think im beggining to understand it now. I have 1 more massive favour. Im struggling to find the right ruu for my phone, can someone point me in the right direction please?
since you are on S-OFF change your cid to supercid and choose any ruu you want
also remove your imei and serial number
don't show them in public
but i noticed something else
how in the hell you have ics hboot version with gingerbread firmware?

Thats a very good question rzr86 I think i have found the right ruu but i could only find one with a firmware base of 1.73 and my phone is currently 3.33. does it matter or will have to somehow downgrade my firmware to match the ruu?

I found the stock rom for my phone, double clicked the .exe and it went through all the loading process and installed the stock ruu onto my phone but the problem i started with is still there. If i turn the phone on it just goes to the htc logo and then reboots. If i hold power + vol down then pick recovery it does the exact same boot loop. thanks for your help!! :good:
