[Q] New sensation owner neeeds help

Alright guys just got my sensation yesterday and already messed it up. I s-off and rooted, then I flashed virtuous ICS then I flashed the proper kernel for tmobile. I am now stuck on the white HTC screen. I can access hboot and cwm recovery but phone will not boot rom. I flahsed proper tmobile patch and still no go. I waited about 15mins after every flash. Am I screwed? What should I do?

This has always worked for me, no matter which ICS ROM:
1) Flash proper 3.32 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 T-Mobile is in there.
2) Superwipe
3) Wipe cache + dalvik
4) Flash ROM
5) Reboot

Do I need a tmobile ruu and if so the link on these forums wont download. it says free downloads for this link are being used.
Even so, can I use an RUU even if my phone stays stuck on the splash screen?
And about the backup, will restoring a backup fix the kernel issue as well?

[Q] stuck at splash screen with s-on, unlocked

HELP!!
I've spent several days on this and I'm about to lose my mind. I really am not liking this mytouch4g slide POS.
I was able to use the kit to unlock the bootloader, but any other option within these forums has left me at the tmobile splash screen. I can get everything installed onto the phone, cleared evferything to clear, reset, etc., but can NOT get s-off nor can I get a new rom to load. I've tried many many methods found in these forums to no avail - could someone please assist? Below is my phone info - thanks in advance!

Thanks AgentCherryColla!!
I had tried that before, but it didn't work.
Maybe I just needed to read your magic words...but sure thing, it up and worked this morning. Absolute goodness - a totally new phone. amazing!
BUT - came to the need to restart and back into the stuck splash screen it went. booted into hboot and it's still s-on. Restoring from the recovery I just set...wanted to try not to have to wipe all the settings I just went through. Is there a perm fix for this, or every time I power off am I going to have to rework something?
Thanks again & in advance for help!

Your phone should be rebooting fine, did you do a full wipe and fastboot the boot.img?
Fulle wipe is:
Format system
Format cache
Format data
Format sd EXT ( if you have an ext for a2sd, most users dont have an EXT partition )
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Flash gapps ( if AOSP )
Fasboot flash boot.img
Finally reboot

I'm not sure which PG59IMG file you're talking about but if you're having these many problems why don't ou just try to flash back to stock and start the process over? If you're S-On too you're going to need a signed copy which would be one of the Tmo OTA files they sent out. If you'll hit the "Blue6IX" Link in my signature and look at the last entries for the first post you'll see the ones for the appropriate Hboot software version you're running. With S-On it will only let you load the right one anyway if you don't know which one you're on. (...and I guess if you have S-Off, there IS no wrong one)

[Q] 4EXT Recovery touch won't install anything...

Hi everyone,
My battery is dying but for the moment i don't mind,I tried to fix the trouble by formatting/wiping everything in the Wipe/Format menu andnow my 4EXT Recovery Touch won't install anything...
The only things I can reach are SD Card, and the Recovery. What kind of files do I need to make everything right ?

It's think the first thing you should try is to re flash a recovery via adb/fastboot.

Some details:
- I wasn't able to reflash the recovery via adb (the operation succeed but nothing changed)
- After the RUU process my Sensation relocked itself
- the RUU process took about an hour (and solve my random battery drops)
- Everything's fine now, i have a stock sensation and will avoid to change something ANYMORE

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck on boot screen

Hi Guys, hoping I can get some help.
I've been working on a sensation but it's got me a bit stumped. The phone is sticking on the boot screen and I cant access the recovery. I've tried taking the battery and then holding down the volume key whilst powering back up. I've tried using KGS utility but it cant find the phone. It's been a while since I have fiddled about with phones so I might be missing something but if I could just get back in the recovery I'm pretty sure I could sort it out.
Any help is gratefully appreciated

Hi there can some other issues. The first, what os you're using, I mean hboot version? The problem is that every android os version needs its own hboot. One case of solving is to install a clear ROM, but you'll loose all your info. Another is to install just hboot that supports yous OS. You'll have to find it out.
Update of hboot runs from windows commander, you can download it from internet easily. If you're using mac, sorry cannot tell anything.
Good luck.

I downloaded the recovery image and put in the android folder with the fastboot and adb etc but on step four when it says 'click on Open command window here' I don't have that option, maybe because I'm on win xp? I can drop the recovery file on CMD window though and get the following,
C:\Android\recovery.img

are you sure that you hold shift + right click on the white space of the folder?
i have left xp for years and i do not remember them at all
also by saying ''drop the recovery in CMD window'' do you mean in the folder of android?

Yeah I've shift and right clicked the the white space in the folder but no option to 'Open command window here'
I'll google it to see if its because it's win xp.
And yeah sorry I should have explained a bit more in detail but I opened the command prompt box (cmd.exe) and then the recovery image that I downloaded from step 2, I just dragged and dropped it onto the command prompt, if that makes sense :good:

followed step 2 but still unable to get access to recovery
None of the sotware I'm using to recover the phone is finding the device..bricked?

Before doing anything try going to bootloader first
Power off phone.. Remove battery..reinsert it..Then hold vol down + power for some time..It will take you to bootloader
Then post all the details bootloader shows here.. Then we can continue further

I finally managed to get in the recovery by using the volume down key and power button. I then used super wipe to clean things up. Then I tried to restoring to my original ROM that I'd backed up but I'm still getting stuck on the boot screen. So I then tried to get access to the recovery again using the same method, volume down and the power button, but it wont access it again

froyo rom?on sensation?
nevermind.the problem is when you are flashing a new rom it doesn't flash the boot partition by itselF(S-ON devices)
the only thing you have to do is download an ICS rom(because of your hboot version you have 3.32fw or3.33fw)
enable smartflash from recovery and then flash the rom
froyo it can't be run in that fw version not even GB.

cool - thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go now

I've flashed a ICS rom and the phone is now booting up fine. So I can I go ahead and put on the ROM I want or do I have to enable smartflash?

If your S on, yes you must enable smart flash. Every time you flash a rom. Best wishes

also since youre s-on you have to extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it with fastboot after flashing most roms. should not be the case with viper but i would do it anyway if vier doesn't boot after the above steps.

Try running an RUU. This fault (or at least a very similar fault) happened with my fiance's phone and now there's only one ROM that will boot on it (an old build of cm10.1). You may be facing a hardware fault (that's what's wrong my fiance's phone), but I'd suggest running an RUU to see if that helps.
Sent from my Evita

You might brick if you ruu, I would try flashing other roms first. Make sure to check the md5 to make sure that the download isn't corrupt.
But
If you must ruu make sure it isn't 3.18. And you will have to change your cid back and relock.
Fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
To change your cid back.
If you ruu, you cannot ever the the 3.18+ ota until you reroot and achieve s-off

so i should just try a diffrent rom? when doing that i should flash the boot img using fastboot then install the rom and then do a cache whipe correct?

Did you Wipe system in advanced Wipe last time before flashing the rom?
For any rom you ever flash always follow the steps I layer out in my earlier post. It will not be different for any rom.
