[Q] HTC Sensation bootloop

Hello xda,
a friend of mine just gave me his HTC Sensation because it isnt running quite a while. The problem is that i haven't had a HTC device ever and I don't really know what to do and what information you need to help me so I'd be happy if u just tell me what information you need and I will try to get them for you.
The Information I got so far is:
- if I want to boot it, it stays at the HTC Logo
- CWM starts with some errors but you can't perform a wipe (just turns off)
- Bootloader starts as well but you can't perform wipe either, nor flash new CWM
- If i connect it with the computer while in fastboot it changes to "fastboot usb" but adb cannot find the device, though i installed first the drivers, lateron htc sync. Windows just calls it "myhtc"
bootloader says:
"PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT . 1.27.1100
RADIO - 11.22.3594.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34"
So what should I try to do or what information will you need.
I would be very happy if u can help me

Hi,
Go HERE
Install 4 EXT recovery,using one of the 3 methods available.(probably third)
Then,try to install ARHD ROM.(same guide)
No need to change the firmware.

So I just tried to flash 4 EXT Recovery but it doesn't work..
It finds the zip, ask me whether i want to start the update, i press vol up and "Update is in progres.." appears but nothing more, I'm waiting since 5 minutes and will probably have to power off the phone now.. the same happened when i tried to install cwm so theres something wrong with the bootloader?
What can I do now?

Hi,
Maybe you should run a RUU.
Look HERE

I also thought about this but as I said adb doesn't find the device.
Since I never ran a RUU, can I still flash or do I have to get adb to run with the device.
Anyway, I cannot read out the CID of the device so if it is possible, which RUU should I flash?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
Try installing these windows 7 & 8 drivers (assuming you have a windows 7 or 8 machine)
Reboot your PC and see if your phone is recognized in ADB.
You are s-off,so you do not have to match it 100%
Just get a RUU that is close to your region or carrier.
If you get the wrong one,it is not a problem.
It will just give you an error.
Then,just try another.
)

Well I just installed those drivers but same result as before..
Windows says "MyHTC" and after i write "adb devices" into the cmd window it says "daemon not running. starting it on port 5037. daemon started succesfully. List of devices attached." and the next time i write adb devices it just says "List of devices attached".
Bootloader still says Fastboot USB.
So maybe there's something wrong with my adb?
Well can i flash RUU without adb finding my device or cant I?

Hi,
Not sure what is happening with your ADB.
Look HERE for help.
In order to run a RUU ,you need to put the bootloader into fastboot,and plug in the USB.
It should show what yours is showing.
So, it should work.

After "List of devices attached" there is no device shown, I didn't leave anything adb shows, so this is still right? Usually it always shows my device ^^
So my adb is probably not running right or it is about my phone
So my next step should be adb showing my device and therefore reinstall android sdk, java, stuff until it might show the phone
or just do something with the phone?
I still think that i cannot run a ruu without any device shown? Didnt really get an answer on this question I guess or I didnt realize it

Hi,
Just run the RUU.
It will only show error if it does not work.
No big deal,and no damage done.
Just try another one.

if you enable usb debugging might help too

Well.. I just started "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed" and everything went fine until installation, no errors at all. Now the installer is stuck at "restarting bootloader" (or something equal, the installation is german) and the phone didnt do anything at all. It's now 15 minutes since the installation started so I probably will try another one but isn't it weird that ther is no error at all?
What should I do if the next RUU does exactly the same?
*edit:
just seeing page 2. How should I enable usb debugging without booting the phone?
*edit2:
second RUU: Same thing, no error but it didnt go further then "Restarting bootloader".
What to do now?

Any further Ideas what I could try?
Puuuush

Hi,
Try running a RUU with the same radio (11.22) that you have installed.
You will not damage the phone.
It is not always an exact science with RUU.
Sometimes it is just trial and error.

So it is often that there is no error at all?
I just thought flashing wrong RUU will cause an error and not stopping at restarting bootloader. And anyway the bootloader seems pretty broken since it is not flashing anything at all ^^
Still i gonna try it

Hi,
Probably ,the only thing that will fix your problem is a RUU.
So,keep trying different ones until it works.

I finally managed to find the phone via adb! I think that's a great step.
The biggest problem is that I lose any contact to the phone when i reboot it into bootloader.
I can just boot the phone into recovery and use any other adb function but as soon as I boot it into bootloader I can't do anything anymore.
That's why I cannot use any fastboot commands to flash a zip, neither run a RUU completely i guess.
So I think that i need any rom to either flash via recovery or just via PC not using fastboot/bootloader at all.
Are there any possibilities for me now?

Hi,
Plug your phone into the PC.
Go to device manager,and where it says MyHTC,right click and update driver.
Browse to the windows 7 & 8 drivers I gave you earlier.
Update,unplug phone ,and reboot PC.
Get a RUU that shows 3.32 or 3.33 in the title,and matches your region
Pull your battery.
Put it back in,and hold volume down and power button together.
Scroll to fastboot.
Plug in usb and run RUU from the PC

[Q] Problems Returning Sensation XE to stock

Would somebody be able to help?
My phone has been playing up a lot lately. I was running MIUI.
Also the volume buttons do not work on the phone.
At the moment i have a phone which is stuck on the MIUI boot screen(just the yellow "MI" symbol)
I would like to get my phone back to stock, i have read so far that i will have to use an RUU (not sure if this is suitable or not for my situation?)
There are a few problems i have with this.
I have no idea of knowing what CID i am running, and no idea how to find it with my phone in its current state.
When i do look on the links to RUU pages i am unable to find one that is suitable for Orange (EE??) UK
[*[I have no experience of ADB, and if i need to use that i will need a complete NOOBS guide to how to use it.
Any help would be appreciated, even links to other pages etc.
Many thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Look HERE
Look in the list of RUU's for a Europe one that is close or higher than your phone.

Thankyou soo much for the response.
When you say close to or higher than what on my phone what do you mean?
Then i am assuming it will work if the phone is stuck on the boot screen?

Hi,
The RUU runs from the PC.
All you need to do on the phone is to go to bootloader,then, fastboot, and plug in your USB cable and run the RUU.
Look at the thread I gave you.

do this
switch on your device normally
probably it will stuck in the yellow miui
then connect it to pc via usb
from pc go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window in that folder and do
adb reboot bootloader

[Q] HTC Inspire Red Traingle Exclamation Won't reset

Hello,
I was reading a thread on someone who had the exact same issue, but no solution was ever posted.
Here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458066
Background - this is a friends HTC Inspire, no rooting or anything was attempted, factory untouched phone bought new from AT&T.
Turns on, eventually goes to a 2 green arrows in a circle around a phone and then to a red triangle with red exclamation point over a black phone. I can hold the volume up and power to reset or wipe cache, neither does anything. Comes back to the same screen. says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't open /data/cw.prop

Doing a boot holding volume down and power shows this info:

I tried formatting the sd card and using recovery and stock rom to load, nothing worked, as if not recognized. The sd card had data on it(which was accessible), which I transfered to the computer before formatting.
Any ideas? I have never used an android device but I've been reading through this forum and others for hours now... phone is outside of warranty now too, so that's no longer an option. Thanks in advance.

It failed during the update to the current rom version or was reset/lost power during update. Use a pc to download the most recent ruu update for the inspire from HTC. Then download and install htc sync on pc. Place phone into fastboot mode with sd card inserted and then plug into pc. Run ruu from pc. Data will be lost but phone will be usable.

So Gizmoe, I am in the same boat as original poster. I downloaded the correct ruu from HTC , but PC won't recognize phone. Point of clarification
When you say "place phone into fast boot mode" does that mean just connect to PC at that point or do I shut phone down and then connect. I've been going bonkers since ATT pushed software update and bricked the phone.
Thanks for any advice.

It means with phone powered off hold down volume up and press power. Continue to hold volume until you see the hboot screen. Then select fastboot ( vol + - to make choice power to select). Then plug into pc. You should see the words fastboot usb on phone.

Ok, we'll I got it into fast boot USB mode, plugged in USB to PC, ran exe ruu file (which takes forever btw) and then got connection error. Ruu application then exits. Must be something hosed up in the phone with drivers. Bummer
I just checked Windows devices and it is showing as a "Device failed enumeration" error. Trying to troubleshoot that but have my doubts right now. I did notice that when I connected it earlier today PC saw it as G drive for a split second and then it dropped.

Do you have HTC sync installed and running?

Hi Gizmoe. Well I have HTC Sync but I didn't think I needed to have that running. I just ran the ruu exe file, but got connection error. I just tried HTC Sync with phone in fastboot usb mode but HTC Sync can't see it. Version of HTC Sync is 3.3.63. The other thing I noticed is that if phone is off and plugged into PC it is recognized as a removable device with a G: drive letter in device manager, but doesn't show up in file explorer and running exe or HTC Sync still can't see it.
If it's connected when it's in fastboot usb mode then windows says "last device connected malfunctioned " and PC doesn't see it.
I'm in this catch 22. Tried to do recovery process to install a ruu off sdcard which errors out, and can't install ruu from pc since phone usb connection not recognized.

UPDATE: I decided to just try the recovery method again while the phone was plugged into USB cable just to charge it. Well it downloaded the latest HTC version of the ROM and it installed....YEAH, BUT phone thinks it's a Desire , not an Inspire and the IMEI MMEI etc. info is missing. No connectivity to mobile network. And I don't have keyboard function either. Sooo, I think I will try another ruu and see if that works starting from scratch. I guess I'm still missing some files or steps in this process. I used to be in the PC business and thought they could be convoluted, but cellphones take the cake.

Yes they do. Just an fyi the desire and inspire are exactly the same device and HTC left the inspire name out of the build prop. It will say it's a desire HD, so that's normal. The rest isn't though. Yeah I would try the ruu again. Just make sure HTC sync is installed and running. You can run it from the phones os too.

Gizmoe, thought I'd give you the latest update: I was able to finally get the PC (Win8) to recognize the phone by installing HTC Sync 3.3.63, installing Win7 64bit drivers.
Then I downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Cingular_US_3.20.502.63_Radio_12.69c.60.29U_26.09.13.17_M_release_335423_signed from HTC site. This is an exec file.
Got phone into USB debugging mode, fastboot off , charge only, and ran the above RUU. Seemed to be working as it asked if I wanted to update etc. and warned about losing data. Said ok and RUU exec then popped up status window saying "Waiting for bootloader......................"
This ran for a few minutes and then Windows popped up message saying last USB device connected failed. Then RUU exec finally popped up and said Connection Error 171. No choice but to exit program. This has happened twice. Very annoying. Took forever to get PC to recognize phone and now I'm still stuck with a brick thanks to ATT.
Any thoughts ?

Ahh yes windows 8 is a ***** with android devices and fastboot drivers. I would recommend trying it on a machine with windows 7. Also are you s off. If so you can try PD98IMG.

Yes, apparently there are a lot of issues with Win8 and android. I can try it on a machine with 7 or even XP. Unfortunately I'm S-ON so no go on PD98IMG. I'll let you know what happens when I try it on the other Windows machines.

UPDATE:
SUCCESS !! :good: Well it only took a boatload of patience and a 7 yr. old laptop running XP to get the phone re-imaged. Process was sloooow (about 30 minutes) but all drivers loaded and the stock ROM from HTC installed fine. Phone is now back to operational. Turns out I didn't lose contacts since they were apparently backed up in Google account. (YEAH) Now I just have to manually install 4 more small security patches from HTC. Their website isn't too clear as to how to do this but I'll muddle thru it.
Thanks Gizmoe for your help and suggestions. You are right I would definitely recommend that anyone trying to root, recover or re-image from scratch an Android from a PC to avoid Win8 at this time and stick with Win7 or XP.

Help me please!

A PD98IMG is a way to install various things but requires an s off device. It is not a method to acheive s off. What exactly is the problem you are having? Are you not able to boot your device? If you are still stock, run the current RUU from HTC through fastboot as explained in previous posts in this thread.

HTC bootloader problem
Gizmoe, I am joining this group, I have the same problem, followed all steps. my problem is that RUU during the process sends msg to phone to reboot and start Bootloader my phone reboots and stays with white screen / green HTC logo (freezes?) RUU after waiting for Bootloader returns error 171 connection problem. My guess is that bootloader is not starting and RUU times out and thinks that it is connection problem.
Uninstalled sync and reinstalled latest version, deleted and re downloaded latest RUU. System recognizes phone ( device manager shows HTC). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yeah there seems to be a communication issue. Try putting phone into fastboot. Make sure phone reads fastboot usb. Then run RUU. There may be programs in pc as well blocking it. See if you can send fadtboot commands if the aforementioned method doesn't work. If that's how you already tried running it then run it from booted phone.

Bricked Sensation | It doesn't boot

First off all, sorry for my horrible english
Today I wanted to make S-Off with the juopunutbear tool for windows (version 0,4) but it crashed and now I cant start my phone. I am always starting automatically in to the bootloader.
My first fault was that I hadn't installed the stock RUU. And my second fault was that I interrupted the process.when the juopunutbear logo was on my screen.
My computer doesnt detect my phone in the fastboot mode -.- I have all backups which were made by juopunutbear
Is there any possibility to repair the phone or is it dead? It is unlocked by HTC Dev.
If you need more Information, say it.

You can access to bootloader or the device is not starting at all?

Do you have all drivers for fastboot installed correctly?

I think yeah. I downloaded the adb things and copied it to "C:\adb". I installed HTC drivers by installing HTC sync. I deinstalled HTC sync after installing it but it did not delete the drivers.
EDIT: I am booting automatically to the juponutBear screen but I can access to bootloader.
And it is Version 0.5 and not 0.4 ^^

Download this file: http://www.filedropper.com/fastbootflash
Unzip it. Plug in you phone to PC via usb to PC in fastboot mode. (bootloader must say fastboot usb)
Open start here.bat from folder you just have downloaded. Then type "fastboot devices" in start here.bat window. If nothing happens then your phone may not respond to fastboot or you have drivers wrongly installed. If it gives some numbers then your fastboot is working correctly. In case of nothing happening I reccomend installing universal naked driver ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161769 ) and repeating steps i gave you.

I tried it and it doesnt work. I downloaded the naked drivers and installed it (Windows 8.1) but it doesnt worked. No response from fastboot. And there is no "fastboot usb" only "fastboot".

To make it say fastboot usb you sometimes have to connect your phone to pc on fastboot and then press vol up or down to refresh it and then fastboot usb appears.

Ok, fastboot USB is there. My Computer say all the time "Device cannot be recognized / identify" -.- Yeah, I reinstalled the drivers.
P.S. You can write in polish I can speak and read polish but my written polish is more horrible than my written english

Then IDK whats the problem. You may try installing ruu (but as far as I know it requires working fastboot to install) which can be found in sensation android development section. I'll dig the forum tommorow looking for fix because Im too tired today. Sorry :c. I wish I could write in polish but this is an english forum and it is not allowed to speak other launage over here.

since you are in windows 8.1 use these drivers

also you are seeing the jb screen because probably you didn't remove the temproot

The drivers doesnt work -.-
I had perm root (I think). Root was all the time active.
I will try it later on an other computer with Windows 7 and if it doesnt work, I will buy a new (not completly news ) HTC Sensation. But it is the last possibility

no need to buy another sensation

[Q] Please help! Stuck in boot loop after attempted update!

Good day, i was wondering if you guys can help me. I attempted to update my phone via the HTC sync manager some time ago (last week Thursday to be exact). When I checked my phone (after leaving the update to download), I saw "the update was unsuccessful" and my phone was stuck in a boot loop, that is, it would start up, then the red triangle with the exclamation mark, then the start up screen again. I'm not sure what to do. Please help!

I downloaded it and unzipped it. I tried to run the application but the phone isn't reading. I set my phone to fastboot mode and it's not reading either...could I have the steps on what to do?

Very likely your pc doesn't have the correct driver for fastboot mode. If you can't get that sorted You can pm me team viewer info.
