Hi all, I am sorry if this is already posted or answered but I spent all day yesterday searching and reading and cannot find the answer.
I have 2 Htc sensations that I messed up some how and would be very grateful if you could help me with them.
Phone 1 has been rooted for a long time and in preparation for ICS I flashed T-mobil: Download 3.32 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
and now the phone works but it will randomly reboot. I have wiped the cache, delvak cache and battery stats.
I am completely lost please help.
Phone 2 I think I may have messed up real bad here is what I did to it.
I rotted it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I got to step 2 sub step 6 and now it continuously reboots it starts with the white screen with HTC on it then goes to another white screen that says HTC Quietly brilliant for a second and repeats.
Please help me yes I am a noob and grateful for any help.
Wow that was a fun ride (not really) it appears I did not flash the PG58IMG file correctly, after I flashed it correctly I got Insert Coin installed and so far it seems that they both are working. only time will tell.
Thanks anyway guys.

If you are trying to install the latest firmware and having the HTC log restart problem. Try to super wipe on the recovery and install first the 3.12 firmware.

Did you install supercid after root?

Both phones are working fine but I have a new question, I can not get the voice dialer to work ie I long press the button on my plantronics bt and say call tom.
I have tried vlingo from the market and this fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133246
but nothing has worked. is it just not working in Insert Coin rom?
Did I just brick my phone?
I tried to flash the 1.17 firmware and the last step failed, now it wont boot at all just a black screen the only thing it will do is the charge lite will come on bit it stays on after I unplug it.
which of the 2 phones you are talking about?
In a previous post you said that problem was solved, now what?
Also, it would be better to know what your bootloader says and what you were attempting to do before black screen.

Sounds like a brick to me, but since the problem is unclear, it's possible to fix. I wish I could help but I don't understand your issue to be honest!
I had 3.32 on it with Insert Coin ICS and thought I have 2 so might as well restore one to factory setting that's when I tried to flash the 1.17 and it never started again.
T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G
The other one is working so I am not messing with it.
I had the same thing happen to me and it was over for the phone. Took it in to tomo and told them it died and after I charged it and went to turn it on, bam, went black and never came back. They never got it to work either and replaced it for me
You mean 1.17 is the hboot?
In this case you installed a hboot for GB while on ICS rom. Obviously it won't work.
If you want to downgrade to GB you can try to run a GB RUU while in bootloader - fastboot usb (if you can still reach it)

He was in the process of going back to gb and that's 1 of the steps. U have to flash a gb firmware to go back to it from ics. I've done it countless times with no issues.

Oh yes I have made many times too buf, if he changed firmware without changing rom obviously get stuck, and this seems happening to him.
No what's happened to him is what happened to me. It's like it gets fried or something. The screen goes black and u can't turn it on or get into bootloader. Tmobile told me when it happened it was dead and got me a new 1

Good news: your phone is not bricked, as it's responding, it's just stuck on boot, so there's something wrong with the ROM you flashed (maybe a wrong one?).
Have you tried taking your battery off, waiting for a while, put in back in, and then tried to enter CVM? I'd like to help you further, but I don't own that phone.
Also check the Q&A and General threads at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1138 for a similar problem.

Yes i used htcdev before i new what i was doing, well i still dont really.I wasnt able to achieve s-off because i kept getting errors while trying to downgrade, but somehow was able to get root. I used a rom that i got from the dinc2 forums i believe it was the blackice rom. I cant get this phone to do anything but read htc and turn off by hold volume up/down and power, but then it turns back on by itself. Any ideas guys? Im freakin out

If you used HTCDev to unlock your phone then you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) every time you install a new custom ROM. Check in the threads for full instructions on it.

i tried to put the stock rom that came on my phone back on it. i had it rooted and was using it for straight talk. the rom was the original on shipped with the phone new. not and updated version. i know i messed up. i cant get the phone into bootloader, the power button does nothing, volume up and power takes it to the qual comm thing. if i plug it up to my computer it takes it a few minutes to recognize it as a disk drive. but it will.

Where did you get the stock ROM? What version of Android did your phone have when shipped?
i had ics on it before i tried to downgrade. i downloaded the stock rom from another site. it was the original stock rom no ota updates i believe. i dont remember the android version.

You haven't clarified whether it was a ROM or RUU, where you got the file, or whether your phone was shipped with Gingerbread. That is important information. I think at this point I'm going to assume you flashed a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with Gingerbread.

It was new a year ago? Yeah, you flashed a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with GB. That messes your bootloader. glevitan has a guide that has, among other things, instructions on how to fix that, but given that AAHK has been retired I don't know if the files to fix it are still available.

AAHK is retired. The server hosting the files it pulls from may very well be gone. And it's not AAHK itself that will fix it anyway; it's just instructions by AAHK's author using files hosted on AAHK's site. It's not included in the AAHK itself.
AAHK has a ton of very clear warnings saying NOT to flash a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with GB. I would strongly advise that you read more closely next time. You will need to wait for glevitan to show up and see if he can help.
ok. thanks for the help.

any luck yet?
Was running RootBox, s-off, etc, and everything was working. Suddenly phone froze and rebooted. But ever since it won't get past the htc startup screen. It just keeps rebooting from there. I've RUU'd back to stock but it still does the same thing. I flashed a recovery and rebooted to recovery from fastboot but it won't get to it. Any ideas?
EDIT: after RUU back to stock, bootloader still will say s-off, not sure if it changed that in the past

Redownload ruu, check md5 retry. If it doesn't work, seems hardware related. corrupt/damaged storage or something.

What happened? did the RUU fail or go complete but no change to the phone?
same thing. RUU runs completely and succeeds. Reboots after the RUU, hangs at the HTC screen for ~10 sec, reboot, and repeat

Hey guys
I know there are similar posts out there but none who describe my exact problem^^
It's like this: Earlier today, I wanted to go back to stock, fully. Which means I downloaded the stock backup and put it on my phone with TWRP. Then, I changed to stock recovery by using the HTC ONE M8 toolkit from hasoon2000.
As far, as good, everything worked just fine. And to have it completely back to stock (except for the still unlocked bootloader) I came up with the glorious idea of restoring to factory settings using the options in the phone's settings... aaaand now I'm stuck in the bootloop.
I meanwhile figured out how to enter the bootloader (volume up + power til screen turns fully black, then volume down) and I'm also able to access stock recovery through that... I of course tried factory resetting it through the bootloader and the recovery, I also took the sim card out as somewhere was suggested... but ultimately, it always goes back to the bootloop.
When connecting to the PC I hear the connecting sound... but that's it. It doesn't show up and thus I also can't access it through fastboot/adb
I ran out of ideas myself, do you have any?^^
Thanks!
Follow this thread here. Follow instructions completely. I have done this with HTC devices in the past. This will be completely stock. Check and make sure your version is listed. Flashing the wrong firmware can be irreversible.
