Rooting HTC sensation not working - HTC Sensation

I was trying to root my htc sensation a unlocked the bootloader but forgot to s-off now it just gets stuck on the white screen with the green htc logo. What do I do now?

Well let's start here what Rom did you flash and if its a ics Rom it won't boot because you didn't upgrade your firmware

You did not upgrade the radio (or firmware as people here call it)
You did not wipe before flashing a ROM.
Wrong flash.

I flashed PkMn 5.1 rom. So how do I fix my phone now? or is it gone for good.

Do extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
using the boot.img from your ROM.
If you still experience the problem, then you should format all partitions except SD Card from recovery & flash your ROM.

I almost had it I got the phone to boot and all then tried to get s-off using Juopunutbear and it got stuck on the green juopunutbear logo so I ran an RUU of a stock rom and now I am back to where I started, but I dont have recovery anymore so I dont know how to flash the stock boot.img

Now im back to the green juopunutbear logo. I dont think I have a rom anymore though cause I ran the stock RUU and it gave me an error at the black htc screen

ok roms working now how do but juopunutbear cannot find seat

Htc sensation semi brick

HI ALL
I have a massive problem with my htc sensation xe. My phone is a t-mobile sensation xe.This is what i have done to it i unlocked the boot loader from the htc dev website. I then rooted it using super click one. I then installed clockworkmod recovery. I then tryed to flash a leedroid rom to my phone and my phone would always restart after the htc logo.
I tryed to flash many other roms but same result, phone would either freeze or continuosly reset.
Can somebody help me please. I have attached a picture of my recovery screen as this is the only thing i have access to.
Thanks In Advance
And what happens when you choose an option from there?
try
fast reboot
factory reset
Try going back to the thread for you rom read, reread and reread agan,
Then follow the instructions 100% and as if by magic........................
I have been assisting this person on the sensation forum he was originally rooted with ship s off however he installed a Rom and apprantly his hboot has changed.
He has tried to change Rom but his phone is boot looping with the HTC logo and as you can see he his picture he is back to ship on.
I provided a list of ruu but he's phone fails while attempting to run application.
He has tried resetting phone through recovery and clearing data,cache,formatting system.
He explained he tried to root following the current 4 methods but still no sucess.
I advised him to seek help on here.

I done as you told me
1.)I went into recovery and clicked factory reset
2.)I then clicked wipe cache partition
3.)I then clicked wipe davlik cache
4.)I then clicked fix permissions
5.)I then tryed to install the shipped t-mobile rom
It did not work
6.)I also tryed to install another custom rom same problem. The phone would hang on the htc logo boot up screen.
I have included pictures to make it easier to assess the problem
I don't think flashing a Rom will get you back to s-on. From your pictures I noticed you're trying to downgrade from ICS to GB, no? If you have the ICS firmware (3.06), how come you have hboot 1.18 s-on? Either there's something missing in your explanation or you really have messed up the software. Anyway, why don't you cross referenced what you've done with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

I want my phone to work wetaher with original rom or custom rom.
This is what i done.
1.)I went onto htc.dev and unlocked my bootloader
2.)I used super click one to root my phone and gain super user access
3.)I then installed rom manger and clockwork recovery to my phone.
4.)I then used rom manger to download leedroid rom for my phone and installed it.
This is were it all went wrong. My phone would continuosly restart and not let be do anything. If i installed any other custom rom through recovery myphone would freeze at the htc screen untill i removed the battery.
Somebody please help i do not want to send it into htc and pay £60 odd pound
Have you tried to select fastboot from hboot, connect to a pc and run the ruu from there?
I have run into the same problem with Sensation 4G (TMO).
Here's what I did:
1. Tried revolutionary to gain s-off - and it failed
2. Unlocked phone with HTC (so my hboot scren says "Unlocked")
3. Flashed recovery
4. Flashed Android Revolution HD™ 6.5.1 | ICS |
Now stuck in a boot loop (with HTC logo on white background). Tried multiple RUUs, none of them worked (including the latest one from T-Mobile).
No luck resurrecting device so far.
weird. ive used revolutionary 3 different times to gain s-off and have never had it fail. i would give it another shot and be extra careful and follow the instructions to a T.
What version of leedroid are you trying to flash? Remember to have the latest firmware to flash ICS roms...
This is were you can get them...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Select the proper firmware according to your cid and mid... If you have supercid, you can get any file... 1.17 is for Gingerbread.... 3.32 is for the latest ICS roms out there...

I've tried firmware from thread you are suggesting (cid and mid matched). Hboot does recognize the zip on sd card, parses it and takes me to normal menu. Nothing else happens. I verified that my cid and mid match androidinfo.txt in zip file.
Any other clues?
I've also tried flashing "boot loop" at the bottom of the same post, but HBOOT keeps doing the same: loads zip, parses it, shows regular menu. Nothing else.
Other option is to supercid your device if you can.... Makes your device more flexible...

@paul.turchenko, the firmware will not flash as HTC.dev unlock only unlocks part of your bootloader. Radio and boot images (included in each fw package) will not flash unless you have s-off.
Have you tried to relock the bootloader then run a gingerbread ruu? Try to match the baseband, software version, carrier, area etc. as closely as you can to your original setup.

Thanks for reply. Any giudance on relocking bootloader? Which T-Mobile RUU should I try? All RUUs I've tried keep failing on me saying something like "this RUU is not compatible with your device" - error 155.
This might help you:

I have never used htc.dev, but I've read other users posts and understood there are instructions for relocking on the site too?

[SOLVED]
AWESOME!
Thanks to post above I successfully unbricked my Sensation 4G.
For those who stuck with the same problem:
Symptoms:
HBOOT:
*UNLOCKED*
S-ON
1.18
Solution: use tool from post above (can't post links) and lock bootloader back. After that your HBOOT will show
*RELOCKED*
S-ON
1.18
After this, phone will accept RUU (which failed before with *UNLOCKED* bootloader).
RUU:
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed
I will keep all files for a while so if anyone wants them - PM me.

[Q] i think i just bricked my sensation XE - Solved

I think i just bricked my sensation XE but am not 100% sure since i can still get into recovery but if i boot up the device, it get stocked in HTC boot up image.
Here is actually what happened... i wanted the new ICS, so i flashed the new firmware and flashed DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 5.0. it worked fine but i couldn't connect to wifi which is the only available internet connection i have, so i tried going back to the ROM which i used before which is MIUI from backup. it showed me restore completed but when i tried booting the device it get stocked in the boot up image, i tried wiping dalvik cache still same thing, i tried going back to the ICS and still i got the same problem. i also tried flashing both Roms and still i get the same problem, the only difference is for the ICS which gets stock in the beats audio logo.
Please i don't know if the problem i get is from the new firmware or if am doing it the wrong way. the phone is just two month old please help
Definitely not bricked.
I assume DarkForest 5 needs the 3.24 firmware. What Android version is the MIUI one based one?
When you try go back to ICS how long does it get stuck at the boot screen for? 10 minutes?
the miui is based on android 2.3.7 and when i try going back to the ICS, it get stock for over 30 minutes without any change
Best thing is to flash the orgional ruu that comes with your phone then start again. It will replace your boot loader and radio and sort out the issues for you. Dont worry your phone is not bricked! It is only truly bricked if you mess up during the install of the boot loader.
Before installing ICS, you might have flash a 3.24 FW.
To get back to GB, you have to downgrade FW to 1.17 version.
Have a look on this Thread for more retails.

RUU​_Pyramid​_TMOUS​_1.50​.531​.1 error 152

Can someone help? I'm getting error 152 image update when I run RUU​_Pyramid​_TMOUS​_1.50​.531​.1 on my phone. I have SuperCid, s-off, and was running a gingerbread rom,but I'm stock on the HTC black logo with the exclamation marks on the corners. Doing some research, I did not find a solution. I can't boot to bootloaders or recovery and I need my phone real bad. What can I do now? Thank you!
Are you using any Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod or 4EXT Recovery ?
If so you have to revert back to stock Recovery.
I use this method to get stock HTC Recovery back [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.
But I am not sure about SuperCID either you have to revert it back to. But make sure make a backup of your phone first.

Super cid isn't a problem, leave it, custom recovery doesn't matter either.
Are you s off? RUU will only work if you are s off.

Yes...s-off. I was on ICS with firmware 3.32, then I went down to hboot 1.17 and flashed a stock gingerbread rom. Flashed fine (so i was back on gingerbread). Sinse I had hboot 1.17 and a gingerbread rom fully functional, I wanted to revert back completely stock and thats why I ran the RUU 1.27. But no luck. You know what's crazy...that after hours of trying to run RUU 1.27, 1.29 and 1.50 (which none worked), I downloaded the latest ICS Europe RUU and the sucker flashed all the way! It didnt boot, but at least I was able to boot into bootloaders. That way, I was able to flash thru bootloaders recovery, hboot 1.27 and an ICS rom again! Now I'm back with a working phone but dealing with the fact that I cant go back to stock. Crazy, ha? Thx anyways. Out of thousands of members with knowledge about my problem, ONLY you responded. Thank you!
Sensation forum, thx!!!

unlocked via htcdev cwm issues

my phone is unlocked via htcdev.com and then has it been rooted but the prob was that i have installed the ota ics which wasnt possible so my phones bootprocess stops at the htc screen. i have made a backup from before everything but i cant restore it because i cant use adb, and flashing it with the recovery function isnt possible beacause it is unlocked so /recovery is still s-on. how do i get my /recovery s-off after all this that i can flash a gb rom to get my phone booting again..
i think its better to flash your stock rom then run revolutionary tool to soff
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
yes it would sure be better to do this but how the hell do i do this? my phone doesnt boot, adb commands aren´t working and flashing a rom via recovery is impossible because recovery is still s-on... so how do i do this? i am trying this for 2 weeks now but i dont get this damn problem fixed.. my phone stops booting at the htc screen -.-

Hi,
Did you make a nandroid backup before you started.
If so,restore it .
If not,why not?
Look HERE
Follow the thread to get 4EXT recovery on your phone ,and using "Smartflash" to get custom ROMS onto your phone.
Use fastboot usb and try flashing boot.img over adb. It worked for me

i have a similar problem. cm10 will install it all goose good until you get to the setup part then it reboots. everytime.almost like a bootloop. i have s-off. unlocked bootloader,supercid. but my hboot is 1.17.0008. i went thru revolutionary do i need to update my hboot and do the hole root over useing jb? the onlything i can think of.........any ideas???
Yes, firmware 1.17 will ALWAYS cause reboots on android 4.x. Update your firmware (probably to 3.33)
Look here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154
Follow all instructions to update firmware. You basically put the file on your SD card and boot to bootloader. The bootloader should update the firmware from there.

Had this problem too until I used 4ext with the smart flash option. no real need to s-off now.
