Help Rom Won't Boot - HTC Sensation

Hi I recently obtained a bunch of free smart phones via my job at t-mobile and people upgrading and just not wanting their old smart phones. One of them was a HTC sensation. I have rooted many phones for years now but this one wants to give me issues. I rooted it, got super user installed and CWM recovery and installed jellybean. When it boots into CM10 it never gets past the boot screen. In HBOOT it says son rl HBOOT 1.27.0000. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong. I did a full wipe and everything. Lucky for me this is a play phone but I still would like to get it up and running. If anyone could please help me figure this out. Thank you

First, please do not post questions in the dev section.
Second, you're s-on so you have to flash your boot.img through fastboot. The boot partition is protected with s-on...

And where do I obtain the boot.img? Sorry for posting here I guess nobody had a problem with it in the DINC forums.

Extract it from your rom.

Ok I did that and when I go into HBOOT how do I flash it? Sorry again for the noob question and thank you for all your help?

First get familiar with fastboot commands: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
You'll need adb and fastboot setup on your computer and you'll use the following command from terminal or cmd prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/<boot>.img
Your other option is to flash a rom that uses the stock boot image. There are two TMOUS based roms to choose from: mine, or ARHD.

Have you update to Firmwaer 3.33?

if you can get into fastboot you can relock the bootloader and should be able to ruu, also belongs in General, not development

You didn't read OPs on roms. You're using the wrong firmware. Lock your phone. Flash ruu as already stated. And yes wrong section but I would think this should Q&A

he can flash the boot.img if he has the wrong version rom but it will boot regardless
the wifi and stuff just wont work with the wrong kernel
the best bet is to move the thread to general
and relock
flash ruu
start over

make sure you dont flash the 1.85 with att cid...
thanks!!!
I flashed the boot.IMG from the 1.85 ruu A's I was using cleanrom 2.1 and he stated that you needed to be on 1.85 and I wasn't. It worked thank you all. If I relock my bootloader will I have any problems doing a 'factory reset' straight from the phone, because it will know it's not a stick Rom or will that work ok? You guys are the best thank you!!!

[Q] How to Install Stock Rom

Hello, I just bought my HOX AT&T yesterday. It is used phone. That phone has Cleanrom 3.1 Standart Edition ROM. I want to use Stock Rom for AT&T but I don't know how to install ROM. I have never installed any rom to any phone and not rooted any phone. I am using that phone in Europe and I have a unlock code, I unlocked this device and using it with Cleanrom now. Could you help me for this situation? Sorry for my english.
first you need to relock the boot loader
You might want to start by reading my guide to adb and fastboot commands
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
after you've locked your bootloader you can download and install the stock ROM from HTC.it can be found here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/software-updates

Just thought i'd bump this up instead of starting a new thread.
Anyone know where i can get the stock ROM for Telstra AU HOXL?
Ive searched the HTC AU site i cant find anything like the link above.
He should probably flash the stock odex zip instead of ruu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920424

You might not be bricked, are you stuck on the HTC boot screen? If so you need to flash the boot. IMG or flash 4ext and use smart flash.

Did you read my post? You need to flash boot. IMG or use smart flash. And most likely flash a ics firmware 3.32 or 3.33 use the search button to find out how.

he cant flash firmware ..when SON ...remember this and don't give suggestions to flash firmware ..when the person is SON
also OP if you post your complete bootloader details that would be helpful..to resolve it
and if you have adb/fastboot setup
connect your phone to PC ..from bootloader (phone reads fastboot usb after this)
then open a command prompt from adb folder
and type the below command and post the complete output (except IMEI and serial number)
fastboot getvar all

nope right now ..i think you cant run the ICS rom
what you can do is flash a ICS RUU based on your cid ..which will update the firmware in the process ...
you can find your correct RUU and flash it ..using this guide

after bootloader unlock. the first thing is to flash custom recovery twrp 2.3.3.1 or under or official cwm
if youre not s-off you need to extract the boot.img from whatever rom youre flashing and then flash it using fastboot. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
once you s-off this step is no longer needed.

Tried rooting and installing custom rom now won't boot

The only thing that's happening is I'm getting the htc screen with the development warning
Nothing else
I've tried turning off when I do it restarts
Please help
thanks
Now I've gotten the phone to go into the bootloader screen
but i don't know what to do from there.
I'm not sure if i attempt reflashing the rom using fastboot?
What do you guys suggest?
Even if I can put on a different ROM would be great as well but that I'm not sure of doing either as I can't restart the phone (if i do go back into the HTC dev boot screen)
let me know please thanks

Alright not sure what that bootandroot file is, but I don't know if that's for this phone even. Anyways, you're already rooted so what have you tried? Did you try asking another rom or wiping data from recovery (NOT BOOTLOADER).

The phone wasn't rooted I was trying to root it.
I don't mind putting on another rom but no luck I've tried clearing cache and I still get this same screen and I guess the only way to wipe data is from fastboot but then after doing this what would happen?

No, your phone is rooted. It has an unlocked bootloader. The problem with fastboot erase cache is it formats cache the wrong way. Just go into your custom recovery and format cache and you should be good.

Did you try both TWRP and CWM?
Sent from my evita
did you flash the kernel separate since you're still s-on?
Download a ROM onto your pc. Download TWRP 2.6 recovery from here. Put it in your fastboot folder. Use the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-evita.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into recovery on phone, mount usb storage, copy a ROM from PC onto phone. Flash ROM from install menu. Reboot to bootloader. Extract boot.img from copy of ROM still on pc and put it in your fastboot folder, flash it using this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Enjoy.
PS. Don't post your problems twice in different locations please.
PPS. Do some research so you actually know what you're doing before you attempt to do anything else to your phone. Don't get any information from anywhere except this forum on XDA, other sites do not distinguish very well between our phone and the Endeavoru.

I relocked the bootloader should i unlock it again or relock it?

Why did you relock the bootloader? That's the opposite of what you want to do. Stop trying random things. You need to unlock it again now, and follow the instructions I posted above.
