Semi-bricked, ICS RUU issues

Last night I flashed the gingerbread coredroid ROM and it worked fine. I just didn't really like the looks of some things, so I thought I'd change to a different ROM.
I thought about flashing the ICS Insertcoin ROM, so I flashed it, and it kept trying to boot, but turned off and kept repeating. But then I read that I was supposed to update the firmware, so I took out the SIM card and connected it to the computer and copied the 3.24 RUU to the SD card.
I followed the instructions and the RUU set up properly through HBoot the first time. Then i went in to recovery to wipe data. It had to reboot the phone before I did anything else, and it went back into HBOOT and tried to install the RUU again, but this time it failed due to CID being incorrect! I didn't give it a second thought, but then the insertcoin ROM was doing the same thing, going through the boot up images and shutting off right in the middle, and repeating.
I tried another ICS ROM, Android Revolution, and same result. Failed booting. Then I tried restoring my nandroid backup from before coredroid, and it also kept trying to boot and then shut down. Then I tried coredroid again, and it had the same reaction, failed booting! I redownloaded the ICS RUU 4 times and repeated this process 4 different times, even with other GB versions of insertcoin and ARHD, and no dice!
I'm not entirely tech savvy, so maybe there is soemthing I havent covered yet. Now the RUU fails not because of CID, but because of incorrect Model ID. I read about goldcards, but I can't make a new one because the phone won't even boot! Please help me!
edit: as of now, the phone does not turn on to any rom or homescreen, ONLY Hboot and recovery.

Hello Jagerlowe,
The 3.24 RUU installs fully with 2 Boots into Bootloader, so there is nothing to be worried about. Here's how you could solve your problem.
1. Please follow step 4 from this Guide to obtain SuperCID, make sure that the SuperCID is 11111111! Mismatch of the SUPERCID causes the Error you were previously facing.
2. With the updated SuperCID, reinstall the latest ARHD 6.2.1 ROM.
3. Boot & flash the suggested radio if you are using the ARHD ROM.
You should be alright
Please keep me posted about your problem and hope it helped!
Remember to Thank me!

I can't quite do that because the phone doesn't turn on. It goes to the boot screen then shuts off. Then turns on, boot screen, off again. So I can't connect it to the computer or do anything like that.

This thread might help you... ICS flashing is little bit different than GB...

What I am about to guide you through is downgrading your HBoot.
Firstly, download 1.17RUU - CHOOSE WHICH Service Provider, Location (CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
1. Boot into recovery mode and connect your phone to your computer.
2. Select "mounts and storage"
3. Then select mount sd card.
4. Copy the PG58IMG.zip into the Root of your SD Card.
5. Reboot your phone into bootloader again.
Your phone should automatically prompt you to begin update. After the update,
Your Bootloader should be downgraded. Then Flash a simple - any Gingerbread based ROM, and follow my post on doing SuperCID
Goodluck! Cheers

Help - stuck, hopefully didn't brick my phone

Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:
"Unlocked"
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012,17:33:34
I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/

PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE

Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.

Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

thanks malybru & kgs1992 - tried that, and the 4ext touch recoery said both superwipe and the rom installed correctly.
but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up

@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

[Q] Is my device bricked or what?

I know there are probably other threads that can help me but I'm really desperate here. I just got my Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) a few days ago and decided to root it and install a custom ROM. This is my first Android device so I followed a newb guide specifically for the Sensation 4G. However, I think I accidentally missed the step describing how to S-Off and I ended up trying to install Cyanogen Mod 9. It installed ok but I got stuck at the boot screen. From there, I tried restoring to a backup I made before installing Cyanogen but it didn't work. Now I'm stuck at the HTC logo. Can anyone help me out? Here are some more details about my device:
*** UNLOCKED ***

I think my firmware is 3.32 and the Android version was 4.0.3 although I guess there's nothing on it now.
EDIT: The latest guide I followed shows how to install/flash the stock ICS firmware but I couldn't update the firmware. It says "Parsing .zip" but doesn't go further than that.

I don't have 4ext recovery installed, only CWM. Is there a way to install it even though I can't boot into the phone?

Yeah, just have to flash another recovery (4ext) through fastboot.
If you look around the development section, you'd probably find a guide how to do it, if not PM me, and I'll give you the steps.

Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Asskicker's guide, how to flash roms with S-ON. If you don't want to flash the 4ext recovery (I highly recommend to install it!) then you can do Step "EXTRA 1" from that guide and install "boot.img" from the downloaded rom. You find it in the zip file, in the kernel folder. But read the guide, there are plenty of very useful info in it! And to answer your question, No! Your phone is not bricked!

I have a bunch of ROMS that I've tried and they're all on my desktop. Only two of them have a kernels folder, so I guess the other two are using a stock kernel and I can't use them, right? I'll try following that thread you linked me to, hopefully it'll work this time.
EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! Now if I wanted to install Cyanogen Mod 9 for example, which doesn't have that kernels folder, I would need to S-OFF first right?

If you want to install ROM's without being S-OFF I'm pretty sure you need 4EXT.
And for future reference to all who may find this thread down the road, if you can get into your Recovery (any recovery) your phone is almost certainly not bricked. You may have a lot of fixing to do, but it's almost certainly fixable.
When the splash screen doesn't even come up after hitting the power button or the charing light doesn't come on when plugged in...that's when it's time to worry. (And even then you may have options)

I did the wire-trick to S-OFF my device. WHen I first did that, my only option in the bootloader was RUU and I was about to ask you about that but took my battery out first. Now it's back to normal and it shows S-OFF. However, my microSD card is now completely wiped. I have a backup on my computer, so should I just copy the files back on there and try another ROM so that my WiFi will work?

copy your files into sdcard then reboot your device
about wifi you can flash the boot.img manually(maybe you do not need that because you are S-OFF now)
otherwise flash your rom again

Clockwork rom manager throws a message saying must root phone superuser not found at "/system/bin su or xbin/su I have super user installed
I have tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img cant find the file or no such file (i pointed to the correct folder) Using Android SDK (not sure if it is installed correctly but had the required files in the folder with the unlock. bin
Tried HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit it said done but S is still on

with all in one tool kit you won't bring S-OFF
from this thread try to flash this recovery.it is better than cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only step 2)

I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.
See JuopunutBear website for instructions. You can find it by typing:
unlimited.io
... Into google.

or you can use the guide from our forum in dev section

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery
If this isnt bricked what rom would you suggest and how do i flash it

[Q] Sensation alive....sort of

Hello to all you phone guru's,
I am pretty much a noob, so go easy on me please.
Back story...I have been interested in electronic for years and though I am ok on the hardware side of things, the software and programming I struggle with, I am trying to learn but like any beginner there are hurdles at which I stumble and have to ask for help, hence my typing the post.
My trade is mechanics so if you would like any car advice and I can help my door is always open.
Anyway, I bought the sensation I have as a little project, so I could start learning while hopefully getting a nice operating phone out of it as well, it is operating as far as I can get it into hboot etc and it has Tea Win recovery which I can access but that's about it, it appears to have no OS on it, no image....nothing.
I have tried to follow several guides on this site concerning RUU's and images but have failed to have any success, I have ADB downloaded and drivers....the details I have been able to get off phone are as follows:
hboot-1.27.0000
radio-11.23.3504.07_M2
open adsp-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
jan 13th 2012.
unlocked s-on

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
SH16GV810960 recovery
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
cid: H3G__001 =
H3G-UK
-------------------------------
So now I have shared my problem, please bring forth the solutions, to which I really hope there are some.
Is the phone dead never to be revived?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help is appreciated.

since you can boot to the bootloader your device is not dead
the only thing it needs is to flash a custom rom from recovery
i suggest to use 4ext recovery because you are on S-ON
follow only step 2 from here(flashing a recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
then download your desired rom and put it in your sdcard
boot to the recovery
enable smartflash from 4ext
flash the rom

Neeeeed more help please...
Unfortunately the already suggested ideas have not worked.
So here I am pleading for help again.
I have tried flashing a few roms, 2 of which have installed but not solved the problem and the rom apparently for my phone cid and mid didn't want to installed at all, I have tried flashing PG58.img but again it simply doesn't want to know, I can't s-off for the fact that when it comes to reboot it reboots into the problem which is getting stuck on htc screen then nothing, I've relocked and unlocked via dev, I've also tried editing cid in PG58 img then flashing...still no joy.
I am stuck completely, my eyes are boggling from the amount of threads and posts I've trawled through and im a gnats **** away from taking a hammer to the phone
Anyone out there that can help?

Solved....

So accessed the rom file copied boot.img and pasted into sdk platform-tools, which I am sure
y'all know is adb, so in fastboot usb....flashed boot boot.img a voila a phone that does not get
stuck on htc screen.
Have a wifi issue now though, which I think may be a rom thing....yet more investigation under way.
Thanks to rzr86 for the help and communications.

that's why i told you to enable smartflash from 4ext in my 2nd post
smartflash is doing exactly what you did manually(with boot.img)
in S-ON devices boot partition is still protected so recovery can't flash the boot.img while installation except if you have enabled smartflash previously
that's why for S-ON users 4ext is more preferable

Trust me my mate i tried what you said several times with 4ext and smartflash enabled only for it to start then abort install.
Hence my confusion and being stuck, i have no idea why it wouldn't install, i checked and double check that it was the right
boot img for rom but as i say it just refused to install boot img.

maybe you were enabling smartflash in the wrong time
you just enable it exactly before flashing a rom
