[Q] Removing Roms

okay so i installed this rom to my tmobile htc sensation and now after a few hours i hate it and want to go back to stock is there anyway i can becuase i tried to use vol down key power button but it wont work it'll just turn on the normal way and i didnt back up anything at all i know that was a dumb move on my side but i just been stock htc sensation with sense UI on it again someone please help me !!!!
the rom i had been using was SENSEaY_XE35_v2.1.0 and now im trying to get stock again

Make sure that fastboot is turned off in your power settings. Now you can boot into recovery. Alternatively i am sure you can do it through the restart function on Senseay.
To get back to stock rom, i'm sure if you use the search tool you will find what you are looking for.

Android dev forum there is an explanation if how to go back to stock.
If one rom didn't work for you can always try another. Try ARHD or Insert Coin, etc.

Well I removed the from because of something small I didn't like about it but I'm stock again now and wondered if I was able to keep stock and have the beats audio software?

If you are full stock. No root what so ever then No unless your carrier releases an update for it containing Beats Audio

Is well I flashed the stock rom back to my phone does that mean I'm not rooted anymore like I still have my S-Off wouldn't I be able to put that beats audio on my phone only?

I have been having this issue too.
Both while running GB version of MIUI and CM9.
I can't recall whether this was happening while running stock.

Sick & tired of phone restarting

I have tried everything on my wife's phone.
First I rooted didn't work
Tried the paper to push the battery down
Then tried numerous sense rooms didn't work
Then tried s off didn't work
Tried newest firmware didn't work
Matched latest radio with til didn't work
Tried cm9 stable didn't work
I just witnessed the phone restart 4 times without even touching it while on the charger fully charged. I'm tired of stressing about this pos.
What will fix the phone. Please help

I have 3.33 firmware with radio and til matching boot 1.27.1100
On cm9.1 stable which I just flashed a couple days ago but was fine until today. I didn't restore any apps and wiped everything
Thanks

Is it restart even if no app in stalled ?

Well that would be hard to consider cuz there would still be system apps installed I did see dsp manager running even though it was never opened so o deleted that
I also reflashed the firmware to see if that would help

Try an RUU
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

Well the phone first came with gb and was never rooted and then received the ota update which is when problems started happening as I know so did many other people.
So that's when I decided to root it
The only other option I think of at this point is if it keeps happening to just go back to gb.
Does anyone know if there will be a jb update for this phone?
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4g using xda app-developers app

I'm not aware of an official JB update from HTC but I'm using an AOSP JB ROM currently and there are some problems.you have to follow the proper process for your phone.
Flash an RUU
S-OFF the phone
Install custom recovery
Root the phone
Install ROM of your choice
In the process, please don't forget to follow documented processes for each step to the letter or you'll definitely run into problems. Post back here if you get stuck and we'll definitely help you.

Its a problem with the phones motherboard. I called HTC and told them what was happening and the tech on the phone told me to send it in and they would replace my mother board under warranty. He confirmed that they have been receiving many calls with the same problem and there was a defect with the mother board.
So either send it in for warranty or try pulling the contact pins out a little bit and jamming some paper by the battery to give it better contact. That seems to work for me.

I appreciate the feedback but so far for some reason after reflashing the 3.33 firmware package the phone has not acted up since hopefully it doesn't happen again

So unfortunately the phone is still restarting in the middle of the night. The t mobile my device app tells you when the last time the phone was restarted

in my experience reboot problem is what happen to many sensation user with custom rom u can see that on roms or kernel topics .
for me using the brick kernel with sense rome and bruce cm10 is very stable 1 restart per 2-3 days or one week

Well my problem I believe started when updating to ICS completely stock never rooted. I rooted the pH one thinking that it would solve the problem. I don't remember if the phone ever restarted on GB .
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

Since being on cm10 I haven't seen a restart. The T-Mobile my device app tells u the last time it restarts and so far so good for the past 3 or 4 days. I just think ICS was crap for these phones

Spoke too soon restarts but seems to only restart now while charging in the middle of the night and not everyday which is an improvment

Finally flashed back to a GB ROM cm7 actually and what do u know all problems have disappeared. No more rebooting. So guess I'm stuck with GB until next device

As you're device is S-OFF, you can use the appropriate RUU for your device that will flash Android 2.3 on your phone. You can download the appropriate RUU from HERE. (If you could tell us more about your device, like run the command: "fastboot getvar all" from the command prompt on your PC and post the outcome here, we could help you finding the proper RUU for your phone.) If you want to try custom roms like cm10-11 or the latest Viper rom, you must update your firmware and hboot. The latest firmware for the Sensation is v3.33 and the latest hboot is v1.27. If I remember well.

Broken WiFi / Bluetooth / Roms won't boot.

Hi, I've searched for an answer to this but I can't find it. My fiance's one xl is seriously playing up. Some background: it's on hboot 1.09 and s-on. She's been using Viper since we rooted it.
A couple months back (possibly after moving to JB) her Wi-Fi was unable to find networks, or when it could find them it was unable to connect to networks. Ok so she dealt with that. Recently I thought I'd flash a different ROM to see if it would make a difference, so we flashed a recent version of AOKP (build 4). This booted fine but the WiFi just kept saying it was turning on but never actually turned on. So we thought we'd flash back to Viper. Full wipes were done while moving between ROMs by the way. Anyway viper just constantly bootloops no matter what we try now, so we can't use that. So we flashed back to AOKP and now neither Wi-Fi or Bluetooth work. Bluetooth at least turns on sometimes but it can't find other devices and other devices can't find it.
So yeah, no viper, no Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, very frustrated fiance!
I've been reading the last couple days and just can't find what's wrong, does anyone have any idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like hboot 1.14? Did you use flash gui or adb to flash the viper boot image?

On ViperXL, boot.img should flash in AROMA, even with hboot 1.14. Although it doesn't always work, so if it bootloops, then OP should flash boot.img using fastboot or Flash Image GUI.
Agree, sounds like it can be a ROM-kernel mismatch.

That's what happened to me when I flashed to the new CM to take it for a test drive. When I flashed back to Viper I went straight to bootloop. Forgot to flash the boot image. Aroma usually works for me but it has problems when going from aokp to sense.

I'm pretty sure it's not 1.14, it was one of the earliest models released way back nearly a year ago.
Any ideas on the Wi-Fi / Bluetooth situation guys?

I'd try dirty flash the rom.zip for the booted ROM a couple times in recovery, to see if something isn't sticking right. I've had that happen on a couple kernel changes in CM.

I am also facing the same problems my wifi , Bluetooth and mobile network are not turning on... i have tried all, factory reset, ruu flashing, new custom rom flashing , kernel flashing... please help:crying:

Ok so now Bluetooth is working fine and Wi-Fi turns on but it can't detect any networks. Basically all I did was another full wipe and flashed King Kang. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get the Wi-Fi working properly please?

Wow so I've done pretty much everything I can to get this phone working ok. S-off, RUU: phone still bootloops when booting Sense ROMs, even the RUU bootlooped. Sometimes it makes it into the ROM after several loops but it just crashes and starts all over again. Phone boots aosp ROMs perfectly fine, but WiFi and Bluetooth don't work still. I'm at a complete loss.

Yeah it sure does. What's got me stumped is the fact that it boots aosp fine and runs fine apart from Bluetooth and WiFi. But sense ROMs loop like crazy, but sometimes boot into the OS before looping again. Eh I dunno.

Hey Exad, I wonder if this might be a kernel issue. We tried booting the latest CM10.1 and it's having the same boot problems. So maybe it's a 3.4 kernel issue, what are your thoughts?
Sent from my EVITA using xda premium

Its unlikely.. you're on the latest hboot right?
I mean.. If it was an issue with the 3.4 kernel, I imagine issues would be way more widespread.
It would be possible to have issues with a 3.4 kernel on an older hboot.. but otherwise I just don't see how.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yeah we RUU'd her phone to 3.18 so it's fully up to date. The thing that made me think kernel/boot.img was that every non 3.4 aosp ROM runs ok, apart from Bluetooth and WiFi. Which I guess is a hardware issue.
I thought maybe there's something within 3.4 kernel that won't let the phone operate properly with that specific hardware problem. But something within <3.4 kernels that lets the phone operate, just without Bluetooth and WiFi working.
Sent from my EVITA using xda premium

Yes, THAT theory is possible though no software will have things running 100%. I'm sure you knew that already.

Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --
Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu
type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.
I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.
Good Luck,
Ravi.

The golden pins in the back cover also need to be clean in order to Wi-Fi work.
EDIT: Make sure the golden pins & back cover are very clean, and in contact properly.
All antennas are in the back cover.
Including bluetooth.

Hi i baught a sensation cheap coz the wifi r bluetooth did not work, tried every fix, s-off, radio, firmware everything but nothing worked at all. Turned out that it was the back battery cover, there is copper looking pins on there but they aint pins, they just conductive paint and they worn through to the plastic so this is what i done, look at the pics, now i have perfect wifi and bluetooth ever since. Its worth a try

Oh so many things to try out let me try them one by one and by the way where can I see the Ruu
