[Q] Bricked HTC Sensation 4G ?!

Today , i successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G, everything was working totally fine, but then I wanted to install and custom ROM , called Super Villain Shensation.
I followed everything like the instructions told me to, but it says that the installation was aborted. and when i want to reboot my phone, it just stays on the white HTC logo screen, and doesnt do anything. I am able to get to the bootloader, but when i try recovery the same thing happens. what do i do !?

First of all, it is not bricked. Moving forward you need to re-download the ROM to make sure it is not a corrupted download, then try to flash again.
In order it would be:
-re download ROM again (I would personally suggest a ginger bread ROM that doesn't require you to flash firmware and such)
-download super wipe
-put them both in your sd card, somewhere where you could find the files
-go into your recovery and flash the super wipe zip (found in the Android Revolution thread)
-flash ROM
-let it boot (it will take about 5 minutes)
-done

Can you get to the bootloader?

Need tothrow the pg85.img zip on the root of you're sd card then boot into bootloader. Follow on screen instructions.

Go to your bootloader like previous poster said and paste this file in the root of your sd card.
-Press the up volume rocker once you get the prompt to do it
If everything goes the way is suppose to go, you will be able to get into recovery again and flash whatever ROM you like.
This file contains Clockwork recovery

Did you superCID? If not, what is your CID, because the file: P58IMG.zip is the firmware package for your device, and it's CID dependent. Get the one you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

What is you hboot if it's 1.18 or below and since you're r now s-on you need to run an ruu for ics that is closes to you stock rom. To upgrade your firmware to an ics compatible firmware. If it's 1.2x then you can htc-dev unlock and if you want s-off use jb then flash 4ext recovery even if your just htc-dev unlock. If your just htc-dev unlocked in 4ext enable smart flash. Now your good to go!

HTC Sensation XE - Rooted, Flashed, Recovered, Not booting

Hello everyone.
First of all, thank you for taking your time coming here and i'd like to inform you all that i'm a legit noob regarding this topic.
I recently rooted my HTC Sensation XE using:
HTC All in One Rooting Toolkit
Clockword Mod Recovery Manager
After succesfully rooting my phone, i installed Cyanagemod 9.1 using 'Rom Manager'. I made a backup in the process.
When i installed Cyanagemod 9.1 my HTC Sensation XE wouldn't boot.. So i restarted my phone, got into bootloader and recoverd my phone using the backup i created.
When i rebooted my phone it didn't boot any further then the Beats logo. I tried recovering several times, without succes. Everytime i start my phone it won't get past the Beats logo.
It's still possible to get into bootloader etc. but i have no clue how to fix my phone..
Hopefully someone can help me with this!
My HTC phone:
Android 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
HBoot 1.29
S-ON

In this general section.. There is a guide.. Called.. "Flashing roms with SON "... By asskickar... Do extra 1 step from there after doing the restore or after flashing the rom (use the corresponding boot.img in both the cases)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Ur phone is s-on so I assume you need to turn the smartflah on from the 4ext reccovery. Install the 4ext recovery first, turn smartflah on and flash any rom to see how it goes.

Thanks for the fast reply!
I'll go and try this.
I forgot to mention that i already did this in some way. I extracted the boot image from the Cyanagemod 9.1.zip and i put it in the ADB folder. Then i used "fastboot flash boot boot.image".
So if i'm correct this could be the problem? Because now my phone will try to boot the Cyanagemod, i think.

Got it working again. Flashed the original boot.img from my backup.
Thanks for everyones help.

I rooted my phone with this guide: techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/root-htc-sensation-xe-on-android-403.html
Bootloader details:
"
*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID D PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Time and Date
Then HBOOT, details how to scroll and select items, fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc.

So, I rooted my phone, then downloaded some apps. I downloaded rom toolbox too. There, I downloaded Cyanogenmod 9. I Installed it and the Cyanogenmod's startup screen thingy was there. So, I removed the battery and rebooted it. Then I started doing all these random things with "HTC All In One Rooting Kit". I flashed CWM 5.8.2.7 Touch, DoomRecovery B! (Custom SWM), Interim (Custom CWM), Stock and Kernel. Then I started rebooted my phone and now it freezes to the HTC starting screen, not even the Cyanogenmod loader pops out anymore.

Try to do a wipe and start it up.

Yes it will do nothing.. You just flashed a recovery.. You need to use that and flash the cm9.1 again
Use that guide as reference and follow it to the letter
(except instead of superwipe use 4EXT - wipe/format- format all partitions except sdcard)

Okay. I got the 4EXT working, did wipe/format. I need that RUU though, and I don't know my firmware radio. How am I supposed to find it out.

Your firmware will be listed under settings,software information, more, base band. it will give your information.usually ICS roms are either 3.32 or 3.33 . I hope this helps.
It will read out the radio and the radio will coincide with the firmware. Example my radio is 11.76.A3504.00p _ this coincides with 3.33 firmware .

If you're comming back from a different base,
( cyanogenmod-> sense or the other way around- for example)
You may try to fully wipe your device, before restoring backup
and flashing boot.img
That is anyway what i do in case of troubles
Edit: Nowadays, custom roms- as they mature- are/may be using different bases...
very often even updates of that same rom differ so much,
that full wipe before update becomes our good habit,
and- in many cases- strongly advised practise

Try that all I have 3 HTC sensation , desire s and explorer and only desire make my day hard I find stock ruu try to flash tough fastboot system boot and recovery and than lock bootloader and factory reset or ruu setup and nothing I am so angry maybe I will only destroy this phone and walk away

Well, just calm down and start from skratch:
1.lock bootloader
2. Run RUU
A) check pc drivers
B) check if they ( phone and pc) see each other-when phone in fastboot mode
Running RUU is a procedure given to us for granted by manufacturer,
when all else fails- RUU must not, and ussualy does not....
If you- in th mean time- have upgraded bootloader- should find appropriate stock ruu

Belive me it's not my first time to use RUU and adb/fastboot commands but no help
I find only 3 ruu for Europe hboot is 2.00.0002 on this link if you have more pls give me link for other RUU
CID : HTC__032
I use RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed

If you please, go to the help thread (you'll find it in Q&A)
Desire s HELP THREAD ask any question....
and ask about it there...
My b****y tab stopped pasting links- sorry,...
Anyway just go there and ask

Now the method of flashing is the same with all desire s phone. Not one of this device has another 'special' way of flashing.
There might be a small chance that u did the flash wrongly. I would suggest that u be specific(right down to the adb command) in the process when flashing the nandroid.
Any chance that u change the hboot since ur last nandroid?
If stock rom is all u wanted, we have many sense rom, even modded stock rom that has been clean(those require specific hboot though).
Now being being led to run a ruu. Are u s-off or unlock? if u are not sure check bootloader.
If you are unlock, check this out. Step 4 shows the the method of flash rom and boot.img from the fastboot.

I will try again I'm unlocked son 4ext classic recovery

juopunutbear on top means that you have the patched hboot which is also unlocked
juopunutbear hboot came when you chose yes for hboot
there is not something wrong at all
about 4ext how did you try to install it?
