Hey you are S-ON so you can't go back.. Normally... But your hboot and all are of gb...
If you have adb/fastboot
Can you give me the output of
fastboot getvar all ( post complete output except imei and serial number)
Also post the RUU name

cid is : T-MOB010

Dude cid is Tmobile? You serious?
You edited it didn't you LMAO
Anyways I guess your phone is of tmobile US one (cid is TMOB010)
and the ruu is matching.. So run it again.. Normally.. With phone connected in fastboot to pc (phone reads fastboot usb)
If it still failed let me know.. I'll give you the manual way to flash

Ha yeah sorry again about that D;
but yeah it still failed keeps bringing me back to the hboot screen.
I'm also currently downloading another RUU.
:/

Here is the manual way to flash ruu
First you need to get the rom.zip from ruu
Here is the guide to do that
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-rom-from-ruu
Do it until step 5 only and just get the rom.zip and keep it in your adb folder
Then open command window and type these one by one (with phone connected in fastboot)
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver htc)
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (I'm interested in this output.. Post the output if it stuck... Don't kill it at any point if failed/stuck)
fastboot reboot (reboots the phone)

Just having 4EXT recovery doesn't suffice
You need to enable smartflash before flashing any rom..

Right now you got HTC__001 that's all matters. The ruus I've mentioned are EU ones (based on your cid) and also ICS
You need to run RUU based on your cid...
Also once you've updated to ICS you can soff now..

What about radio? Is bootloader not showing radio?
Did you run the RUU from unlocked bootloader earlier?
Can you unlock it via HTC again
Then check whether bootloader is showing radio too
If not relock again and run RUU again
Even after doing the above steps if it's still bootlooping
Then extract the rom.zip from RUU you've used
Guide here
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-rom-from-ruu
Extract the boot_secure.img from rom.zip
Then flash it using fastboot command
"fastboot flash boot boot_secure.img "

I tryed to flash with unlocked bootloader but Error 155 occured.
I pulled the SD-card off because there is a PG58130.zip on it and
now the radio version is on the bootloader screen too.
Also i searched for the boot_secure.img in the ROM.rar but there
was only a boot_singed.img.

you didn't got any errors while flashing the boot_signed.img right?

there should not be any problem ...but you still got bootloops
you got radio in bootloader after doing relock right?

relock the bootloader

[Q] [q] htc sensation 4g bootloop

Ok so i had an ICS rom running on my sensation and then i saw the virtuous incision rom and i wanted it. so i updated to 3.32 and i wiped data, dalvic,and cache and then flashed the rom but it just keeps looping. I can't flash any other rom either because it does the same thing. And i do have supercid. Please help!! (
Are you soff?
If not and you are htcdev unlocked
Then you need to extract boot.img from the rom zip file (usually in kernels folder)
Then you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot

So there's no problem... When you said you had ics rom you might have 3.32 firmware.. Why update it again? Any ways what's your hboot saying now? post all the stuff in hboot..
Also I recommend you to do a factory reset / wipe all partitions except sd card... From the custom recovery you have and flash the rom again... If you are on 3.32 then you should not have any problem

I tried flashing the rom again after wiping like you said, and i just got to boot loop again D:

Make sure the name is fine.. It should be PG58IMG if you are using windows..And keep it on top of sdcard..
Then hboot should automatically find the update (try this couple of times)
If it still doesn't work. Get 3.24 firmware from the same link and flash it and see
Btw you are supercid right? Also the hboot you posted earlier is fine.

Do one thing right now you got virtuous rom right.
Try to do a restore from backup... From your custom recovery.. I assume you have Nand backup..
And see that solves the problem
Otherwise
2. Extract the boot.img from the rom you've flashed.. (it will be in kernel folder inside the zip file) Then flash the boot.img via fastboot.. Keep the boot.img in your adb folder and Type this
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3rd chance
3.flash 3.24 firmware from the thread ive linked.. And flash the rom again.
Final chance
Get the ICS RUU of Europe one (get this from pyramid shipped rom collections) thread GOOGLE it) and run the RUU.. With you phone connected to your device in fastboot
This will restore you to stock ics... After this you'll have to flash recovery and all again

Sensation ICS problems

The thing is Im running a rooted android and I tried installing the InsertCoin ICS update and it gets stuck in the booting screen and restarts. How can I get ICS on my rooted sensation4g?
Thanks in advance
Update to the proper firmware for ICS. ICS and GB ROMs have different firmware.
Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Make sure you read this throughly before attempting to flash. Make sure you have S-Off and your CID is 11111111
Good luck.

you are SOFF..but your radio is too old..for ICS
that's the issue for your bootloop
whats your cid ?
anyways as you are SOFF we will change your cid to superCID (its fine as you can revert it back) if you are already super cid then ignore the next steps and go to firmware steps
supercid: (assumed that you have adb/fastboot setup on your pc)
go to fastboot on your mobile and connect it to pc (mobile reads "fastboot usb" after this )
then go to your adb folder on your pc and type this command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)
then you are done you are supercid now
now you need to flash firmware 3.32 and install whatever ICS rom you want
firmware 3.32 and flashing any ICS ROM
this is by far the best guide to do that
FIRMWARE 3.32 and ARHD ...you can use the same steps for installing any ICS ROM even though the guide explained on flashing ARHD
Got it working thanks a lot

Sensation xe cant handle ICS Help

Hi i have sensation xe which is not rooted but is s-off. No matter how i install ICS (RUU or OTA) the phone keeps freezing and rebooting within a few minutes of turning on. What i dont get is that gingerbread roms work fine with no problems but ICS wont run. If i install ICS sometimes screen becomes fuzzy or the phone makes a loud beep noise and then turns off. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Is that ruu for your device and you said you s off why stop there go all the way with it and root also you should get rid of that ruu and redown load from football you can find it in the dev section or you can root and install 4ext recovery and flash a ics custom Rom and for get those ota updates trust me your knot missing out on anything

The RUU has LE in the title which is for the XE so i presuming i have the right RUU. As far as rooting when i got the phone it was rooted but it wouldnt go past boot animation so i did a factory reset. I have tried many custom roms, i.e. darkforest but still i have the same issue?

hmm i need more info
if you have adb/fastboot setup
connect the phone from booltoader to pc (phone should read fastboot usb after this)
then open command prompt from adb/fastboot folder ( if windows .. hold shift + right click -> open command window here)
then type this
fastboot getvar all
post the complete output here excluding IMEI
if you dont have adb/fastboot setup ..check this guide

Thats why i dont understand this problem only happens with ICS Rom, gingerbread works fine, anyway
Ive contacted HTC and they want me to send the phone for repair, what do i need to change before sending? Im guessing i should flash stock RUU but what about S-off and unlocked bootloader?

I've seen this. Ppl complaining that ics roms have weird screen flickering or black screen and gingerbread running fine.. But within fef more days the problem came to gingerbread for them too.. So best solution is to send it back to htc..
For that.. Flash correct ruu. Based on your cid/carrier/country . Then change back cid.. And if you did htc-dev unlocked over soff.. Then you need to re lock the bootloader too.. Then finally (should be last step) do SON..

If htc-dev unlocked is done after soff then not possible to make it locked.. Or rather there is hard way of doing it.. SON.. Then do juopunutbear soff again.. And say no to jb hboot it gives you locked bootloader then once again ruu and SON

if the bootloader says relocked do you think htc will refuse warranty?
Happy to say HTC have reapired the phone. The imei on the phone has changed so they must have changed the motherboard. Great service fixed within a week
UPS collected the phone on 16/08/2012 and i receievd it back 24/08/2012.

Sensation ICS no start

Hello, I'm a Noob xD
I was using miui in my sensation but i decided to downgrade to ICS and use stock images for this device...
I followed instructions of this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749789
flashed firmware...
flashed ROM thru CWMR 6.0
and when I turn on the phone starts with the HTC logo then makes a sound and shows again the HTC logo and quietly brilliant but nothing happens and I wonder what I'm doing wrong...
I hope community can help me to solve this mistery
Thanks in advance...

Did you wipe data or do a full wipe in recovery before flashing the ROM?

Yeap... wiped cache,data,dalvik cache and system...
I was checking that the phone's model is PG58110 i don't know if this is making all the trouble...
to check if you have supercid: boot the device into bootloader
connect via usb to pc,open a command window and do
fastboot getvar cid
if it shows you 11111111 then you have supercid
if not then do
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (to change CID)
fastboot reboot-bootloader(bootloader will reboot)
fastboot getvar cid(it will confirm your CID as 11111111)
after that install fw(from bootloader but first rename it as PG58IMG) for stock ics and then the stock rom
best wishes
edit:don't forget to superwipe first

Sorry for delay... I'm using windows 8 and the %&$# drivers don't work on 8 all drivers installed need to be signed...
well i confirm that I'm supercid and i didn't know it xDD
that's what I did....
rename the .zip installed the firmware and then the stock ICS but i don't know what I'm doing wrong...
Why when I install MIUI with JB 4.1.1 works and when I install stock ICS doesn't? MIUI it's a great rom but my battery lasts 4 hrs and I don't like that! and front camera is not working
Please help this noob xDD
Regards
Install htc sync on windows 8 that will automatically install the drivers..
Also if you are supercid.. Then I would request you to change back to your original cid
Ye this suggestion seems meaningless but one guy just like you has the same problem.. But when changing his cid to actual one then everything started working
For changing cid
fastboot oem writecid <your cid>
Eg: fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
The above command should be typed with phone connected from bootloader to pc ( phone reads fastboot usb after this)

flash a ruu.exe for your device and start from the beggining.see here

OK you were right i changed CID to HTC__001 and now I'm on android 2.3.3 sense version 3.0 using RUU that rzr86 recommended but now how do I install ICS xDD
I need to do more research I also use Galaxy Nexus and is easier than a HTC u.u

Run a ICS ruu
Find the Europe unbranded one 3.33.401.6 (3.33.401.106 if xe) and run it.. Check for pyramid shopped roms thread in sensation development section.. It has all the ruu's

I've installed finally ICS on HTC sensation with the RUU!
Thanks to everyone who helped me in all this process and as a conclusion... maybe being supercid is not a good idea because that the main reason i could not install roms...
I dont know why because is suposed to that... anyway... thanks again
Regards
