did the phone boot after you installed ics?
did you install ics from ruu or is it a custom rom?? if after installing from ruu reinstall cause i hade the same issue
try reinstalling the rom through ruu if on stock or through recovery if you have it .zip

Can you get into the bootloader?

no it came with I.C.S via OTA
and this is / when i try RUU

yes i can get into the bootloader..
i can instal custom ROM / but the phone won't boot

Did you tried to install another ROM already?

I had the same prob flashing ics. Had to downgrade my firmware and reflash ics.
What firmware are u running?

Wait a minute...you're S-On and not rooted. Are you sure you can install custom ROM's?

based on your description you did a unlock bootloader through HTC dev...so you'll be struck with s-on for now but you can still install/flash a custom rom
which has a stock kernel option...like ARHD...if you have custom recovery then flash ARHD normally but select stock kernel while flashing otherwise you'll have bootloop again
EDIT: THIS thread might come in handy for installing custom rom on HTC dev unlocked bootloader

HTC Sensation 4G

Guys I made a s-off using ControlBear and it crashed!!! so now I can not turn on my phone. Only what can I do is Bootloader and recovery modes. what is the reason of it and is there any solution???

I have requested that a mod move your thread to the Sensation Q&A forum for better device specific assistance.

Did s-off work?
When you say you can get into recovery mode do you mean 4ext or clockworkmod? Or do you mean something else?
If you can get into 4ext or cwm download a new rom and flash it. You should boot right up.
If you can only get to bootloader you can probably update your firmware with a modded version that has a custom recovery included, then proceed to the previous step.
If you need to do the firmware thing you can find all you need in the firmware thread in the development forum.
But....s-off has to have worked in order flash new firmware.
If all else fails you can run an ruu to restore the phone completely to stock and start over.

Hey dude I also failed with JB method and still my sensation is S-ON. You can follow troubleshooting guide at http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/troubleshooting/
and it really saved my day. Anyways to flash a rom with s-on, simply instal 4EXT recovery and enable SMART-FLASH before installing any rom. It has worked for me

HTC Sensation s/w Brick?

my friend installed Rom from CWM and it stuck on HTC Logo (i guess boot loop)
after some research i told him to do
we found out that he phone is S-ON
is it possible to fix this kina of Brick?
i dont need links or something like that just a possible route how to fix it..
Thank you..

You have to flash boot.img from rom zip file from fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes or enable smartflash in 4ext recovery... Do you have matching fw?

you may have to flash the boot.img manually
that's why it's not booting

in order to get S-OFF i need to install the Boot.img?
i cant just install Stock FIrmware (if possible)
and unlock Bootloader"?

S-OFF is a different story
i suppose you have already unlock bootloader
what fw do you have?

can i take Customize Rom Install it via CWM then install extract boot.img from Zip install it via Fastboot?

yes you can do it via cwm but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.it is better

As you have cwm your bootloader has been unlocked.... Fastboot or 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled

it matters.
now with that hboot version you can easily S-OFF your device using this site
http://revolutionary.io/ after this you have to change your cid to supercid in order to flash whatever rom you want
if you don't want to do that:go again to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
flash first the appropriate 3.32 fw then the appropriate 3.33 fw and follow step4B in the link i provided you in my previous post
i should had asked you about your hboot version

on the first choice i can enter Settings DEvelopment cause i dont have any OS installed

Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing custom ROM? if yes then restore it, if no then that was silly
If no then there are 2 things you can do:
1. Flash a GB ROM then S-OFF using revolutionary.io method
2. Flash a 3.32 or 3.33 RUU then flash custom ROM
Out of the two I would go with no. 1 because it will save you a great deal of headache later on because revolutionary S-OFF is easier and more user friendly than JuopunutBear

we manage to fix the Brick by using this Thread

hi,
first what recovery are you using for flashing roms?
because you are on S-ON i suggest you to use 4ext recovery
before flashing a rom:
1)format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
2)enable smartflash from it
3)flash the rom
see how it goes
about bootloader use ruu with the same or higher firmware as yours
because you are on S-ON you can't downgrade hboot version(which means downgrade firmware too)

not from recovery
that rom.zip extracted from ruu it can be flashed only from bootloader
see the instructions on how to from the ruu thread
by the way this ruu contains 1.45 fw version which is lower than yours(which means lower hboot version)
that's why you have that error
as an alternative solution you can flash from recovery the stock rom

[SOLVED] [Help me revive my sensation[stuck on boot screen while trying s_off]

Ok first things first.. this all is what I did and what's my present situation
1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).
Have also tried a few more methods but none seem to work.
Help guys.

he has to be on S-OFF to flash a firmware from bootloader and i don't think he achieved S-OFF
what he must to do is enable smartflash from 4ext(if you don't have that recovery use this one)
then flash the rom

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

And where do i get this boot image? From ruu?

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?

You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.
