bricked - HTC Sensation

Hello there! this is my very first post, and i would like some serious help from all of you if possible.
I own a HTC Sensation, decided some time ago to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich from Ginger Bread, didn´t succeed so I was stuck on previous version, although I was able to S-OFF my phone but I realized I have downgraded my HBOOT to 1.17.1111. Phone was working fine with Ice Cream Sandwich again until it started to go slow and wanted to install a different ROM, here is where I come up with this new problem.
I went to HTCDEV and followed the steps, downloaded SDK tool but I wasn´t able to finish the tutorial, now the phone is useless, I can´t mount my sd card on recovery and my laptop (W7) won´t install MTP USB driver, I have replaced my sd card with a new one transferring a new ROM to install but when I try to ¨install zip file form sd Card¨on recovery, it doesn´t mount the sd card. I don´t know if you guys know what has happened to me, but I hope you can help me.

It may be a recovery`s fault. Try to flash recovery again via Bootloader, or format your SD Card. And I cna`r really understand, did you S-OFFed your phone? And if yes, why you tried HTCDev?

Your bricked :bad: but next time post in Q&A
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.

As the post above me I am a little confused as to why you wanted to use HTC Dev when you said you were already S-Off. Anyway though I think your best bet is to flash the stock ROM via RUU. You may need to boot to the bootloader and select fastboot and enter the following commands.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then run the RUU to flash the stock ROM.

Desire s stuck after 2.3.5 update

i tried to update via phone (after the notification), but after green bar was full, my phone rebooted and stuck in white screen with htc logo... if i try to enter in recovery i see this
h*tp://i39.tinypic.com/xdxnc5.jpg
it seems to be s-off (i bought it used) ...what have i to do for make it work again??
tnx.. and sorry for my bad english
same problem here, help is needed!
A golden rule: never update OTA on a modified device (custom ROM even modified Stock one, custom Recovery, Revolutionary hboot!, etc.)
How to fix:
do not pull battery!
flash a custom recovery (e.g. 4EXT) with the fastboot command (search for a how-to)
reboot to recovery, wipe all partitions and install custom ROM
Ok, to late with the battery, have already pulled that one out!
I also have S-Off on my phone, really dont understand the how to fix a recovery??
And is it really neccessary to flash a new ROM for this?
An official release that screwes the phones up?
I think the general issue is that an 'Official' OTA upgrade should not screw up your phone - enough testing by HTC should make sure of that.
Hoever, if you have modified your phone (e.g. by rooting it, installing custom recovery etc) then you can not expect to blame HTC when their upgrade doesn't work as expected. They can't be held responsible for problems caused by modifications you make to the phone.
But all I have done is S-Off, I have not installed another ROM or anything else?
So the update should work I really think!
Can I install a custom recovery without have to be able to start the phone?

The OTA flashes a new hboot also.
If you S-OFFed with Revolutionary your hboot has to be version 6.98.000x. This hboot has a protection and cannot be overwritten. This is the point where the update process is interrupted. The result is a bootloop, because the new system is incomplete.
If you can boot to bootloader (hboot) you should be able to flash a custom recovery with the fastboot command (in the 4EXT Recovery thread there is an attachement - a zip file that contains recovery.img). Extract the archive and flash it with this command from cmd (there is a guide how to make fastboot working in my signature):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {path to file on your PC}/recovery.img
If this works reboot to recovery, wipe all partitions and flash a custom ROM. Then your phone should be working again.
Then if you want the OTA flash a 0.98.2000 hboot, then use the 1.47.401.4 RUU (if you are using European unbranded) or the corresponding for your brand/region to return back to complete Stock and S-ON. Then you will be prompted to update and you will have the latest OTA on your device
Okay, I have now fixed the 4EXT Recovery and it is working!
Do I have to put a new ROM on the SD-card or is there another way to install a ROM (from cmd with the ROM on the computer etc?)
I dont have an adapter to the SD-card, but maybe I can put the ROM on the sdcard with a command in cmd aswell?
What ROM do you recommend to use? (sense, no sense doesnt matter)
Edit: I did a backup as well, thinking that I should do that...
Can you link to zip file you used for recovery i have exactly same issue and same software versions as you have.
@ Mooler. First of follow the guide that was posted here regarding the adb-drivers.
After that download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631186&d=1308596026
Then install that one as described with the cmd-command.
After that just put a custom ROM or a shipped ROM on the SD-card, wipe data/cache and install the ROM you want. That solved the problem for me!
Good Luck and thanks for the help I got here! Xda always delivers
Damn this phone! After hours of fixing with this problem!
I managed great, installed new kernels, radios, ROMs etc. And the first thing I did was to drop it on the floor so the whole damn display cracked!
Thanks for both of you.
I managed to restore the phone quickly after i got the correct recovery file. 30 mins and custom ROM was up and running. Good bye official update.
Akerhage: sad to here, it really was hours of reading and trying before you get it right.

Safer to install ROM first and Firmware later?

Today I upgraded to FW 3.24 and ARHD 6.1.0
I came from FW 3.12 and ARHD 4.1.11
When the firmware upgrade was done, I was curious whether the 4.1.11 would boot. so I tried.
Unfortunately it boot-looped and since PG58IMG.zip was on the root of the SD card, loading the bootloader with power+volume-down only gave 2 options:
1. upgrade and reboot
2. not upgrade and reboot
Which means no recovery.
Since the current ROM couldn't boot, there was no way to access the SD card by using the phone.
I have no SD card reader on my desktop so in order to get rid of the PG58IMG.zip file I used my girlfriends' phone as a card reader and deleted PG58IMG.zip
I could then enter recovery and install the proper ROM which booted fine.
The instructions suggest FW first and ROM later but maybe it should be the other way around?
Is there any other way to prevent this?
Um if you gonna flash new ICS Rom that requires 3.24 firmware yes i would flash rom first then new firmware this wont bootloop the phone, LOl learned this not too long ago
but if you ever get in that situation you can easily take out sdcard, boot into recovery then put sdcard back in the mount it as USB MASS STORAGE and you can delete there then put new rom and then flash rom
see lil more steps but still works and dont have to get another phone or sdcard reader
If you flash the ROM first, it certainly wouldn't hurt-
You would still want to wipe and re-flash after installing the firmware.
fastboot flash used to make this a breeze--- or does anyone know if that's back, yet?

[Q] My HTC One S has no OS - SOLVED

When trying to restore/unroot my One S something bad happened. I'm not sure, but I or the program I tried to use somehow erased the memory and completely removed the phone OS. What should I do to get my phone back to life?
EDIT:
My phone is back to life!
The solution that worked was a mixture of a few previously posted on xda.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing
Under ROM flashing I did steps 4-7 and then flashed the boot.img for my chosen Rom(Currently UTB: http://www.connect-utb.com/utb-rom-for-the-htc-one-s/) via CMD. Then I powered down, waited for a bit, and started the phone again. The phone finally worked as it was supposed, I got past boot image and entered the normal phone configuration.
The reason I chose UTB Rom was because someone else have had positive results with this Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720 post #8),
which also proved correctly for me as I tried to install another Rom without success just a few mins later. (To get it to work again I followed my own instructions above, and it worked)
Thanks for your help! And I hope this solution will guide and help others with similar problem in the future!

Hello,
If you can get to the bootloader then you should relock it and flash the RUU for your phone. That will return it to stock and you can reroot or do whatever.
Rsotbiemrptson
You could also just reflash the ROM of your choice by going into TWRP custom recovery, mounting your sd card and copying the ROM over.
Then flash the ROM, and dont forget to also fastboot the relevant boot.img for that rom.
TWRP recovery is better than CW as it does allow you to mount your sd card. So download TWRP (google it) and fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
then load the recovery then mount sd card. You should be good to go from there, unless your SD Card is corrupted. If that is the case, then check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

Yes, I can get into bootloader, but can't find the right RUU for my version.

[Q] SD card appears as only 48MB. how come?

Hi, seems like my One S's sdcard partition has corrupted. been using TWRP 2.500 and recently upadted to 2.6.30 to use the new Maximus Rom. During the rom installation, I wiped the sdcard sectrion by mistake so I couldn't get to flash the zip file, then, I've tried multiple times of recovery.img flashings via RUU mode or on the bootloader screen. Finally when I got the TWRP recovery mode again, it says the sdcard folder only accepts 48 MB so I cannot push any custom roms since they are bigger than 500MB... Any ideas? Should I send it to the repair shops? Please Help!! Thank you!
FYI, my phone was
Tampered, Unlocked, S-off
also, when I press mount button on TWRP, this list appears
Cache
Data
Internal SDcard
System
USB-OTG
but I select Internal SD, the computer says the removable disk has only 48MB of available space.(I wiped it multiple times!)

It's hard for my to tell what you missed, because you didn't write what you did. So just follow installation instructions in the first post of maximus Rom. (flash new firmware, modified recovery, then Rom).

All of these steps work for me except flashing the recovery as a ZIP. I get the wrong CID error (code 42 if i remember correctly). Thing is, I flash the .img directly usign fastboot flash recovery and that works but then the install process says, in android, transfer ROM. At this point, I don't have access to the SD card and the ROM is not in my sd card (it was wiped anyway?)
*EDIT*
Ok I changed my CID to 1111111 and now it works to flash the firmware. I still get partitions errors it seems though.
What I did is flash the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset, reflashed the firmware given in Maximus thread, then the TWRP given and still, I get problems with my sdcard not mounting?

if you are talking about mounting usb storage in recovery, then no, you cannot do that on Maximus HD rom. (it's a modified TWRP to work on the new firmware)
You can sideload in TWRP or ADB push the rom to your sdcard.
I would give you a link to a page describing it, but search is unavailable right now, have to try later.
But just search that thread with keyword sideload. There you will find the exact commands to load the rom onto your sdcard.

Hi i had the same problem with my htc one s.So i paniced and for some reason i put s-on(I deleted the os from the pc using mount storage) I managed to fix it by installing the recovery as zip. Then i tried to adb sideload a rom but it didn't work. So i went to boot loader then to fast boot and did fastboot flash zip Energyrom.zip. That gave me an error so i went back to recovery to try to side load the rom again, but my sdcard went back to 48mb.I reflashed the recovery (the one from install package) same thing . What do i do????? I need help asap i want my phone back (IM ONLY 12) Please reply asap.

I think the easiest way is to flash the stock recovery and then do a sdcard wipe then a factory reset.
After that, you go through the process as described in the maximus rom thread, you will have to flash with sideload. That should work afterward
I am doomed
Hi guys,
Yesterday I decided to try MaximusROM 10.0.0 HD on my HTC One S, which is s-OFF and with superCID. The problem is: I didn't flashed first the rom as it was said, and I just used the Installation Package, installing directly the firmware.zip and the modified recovery. I tried to follow the steps written before, but now my phone works with the stock rom but it says that there are only 48mb in sd card, and that means that I can't even take photos, because I have no memory left. I found out that my phone, when is booted up, in settings says that I have 15,96GB of space for applications. What can I do?

Android Revolution HD 7.3

Hey guys,
Having some problems with this ROM. I downloaded the ZIP, used Titanium backup to back it all up, and flashed the Rom with no problems at all...got through all the screens and whatnot, and upon launching for the first time it's stuck on the "Beats Audio" screen. Not really sure why or what happened. I'm coming from MIUI ROM and haven't had issues with flashing any other ROM before.
One thing I noticed is on the HD 7.3 first page there is a firmware update that you apparently need before you flash the ROM but all links are 404/not found.
Wondering if any of you pros can offer a hand?

In looking at my Hboot, it's old as sin....I'm using Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111 and Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I run clockwork recovery mod v5.0.2.0 as well. This could be an issue causing the problem. I've been using the MIUI ROM for probably 2 years or so because I enjoyed it but I'm ready for a change. Apparently my phone doesn't agree. lol.
You want me to connect via USB and run the cmd prompt for the getvar command and let you know what it says?

I'll go ahead and update the firmware and see where that lands me. I figured it could have been a problem from the get go but in the original thread for the HD 7.3 Rom the firmware link has been removed (likely since it was from 2011)

Hmmm....the firmware update didn't work.
I can verify that I'm on the firmware 3.3, Hboot is 1.27.1100, Radio is 11.24A.3504.31_M.
Each time Hboot is run it asks if I want to start the update. If I select yes, I've got 9 on screen options that it runs through and tells me "Update complete. Press power to reboot" The only way to do anything at all is to take out the SD card so it does not try to load up the firmware zip
Pushing power reboots the phone on an endless boot loop. Regardless of what ROM is being used (I also downloaded cyanogenmod) I can not make it past the spash screen.
Could it be that I'm just flashing the ROM incorrectly? To my knowledge I've followed instructions for both and have backed up my phone and it's contents and done everything from a factory reset/wipe to wiping the dalvik cache, etc. I didn't have this many problems rooting my phone and putting on MIUI to begin with and have flashed ROMS before with no trouble....not really sure where I'm going wrong on this one.
Anyway, I'll await your reply.
Thank you!

Update: awww frick. So now it looks like this will be more difficult....I hope you like a challenge. I can now no longer get into my phone. It appears that it's soft bricked. I have tried going to a clockwork mod recovery from my first MIUI in 2012, it goes through the entire process of factory resetting restoring the boot image, system and data information. It asks for a reboot which I do. It goes to the white HTC splash screen and the MIUI initializes and goes black immediately. There doesn't seem to be a way to get my phone connected to my computer to get into the SD card to troubleshoot from inside the phone. Hopefully one of you guys has the answer for me. Is there any way to get into it via bootloader usb?

remove the pg58img.zip from your sdcard so it won't scan and identify any pg58img.zip file
and don't restore your miui rom because probably is a gb one and now you have an ics firmware installed
just download an ics or jb rom
put it on your sdcard
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
done

With the phone being in a boot loop I can't get it detected by my computer to remove/add anything from the SD card. I do have the HD 7.3 ROM on and the Gapps that's required but it never makes it past the "beats audio" splash screen. I have no idea what's going on with it but will try any suggestions you've got up your sleeve.
Ahhhhh....I've gotten a fix for this!
I was unable to do anything because of the update zip which wanted me to update every time bootloader was initiated. By keeping my case off I removed my SD card to be able to boot in recovery and then put the SD card back in to load the HD 7.3 zip from the card. This seemed to take care of the problem.
Thanks for the help Rzr
