[Q] HTC Sensation XE Flashes Frequently - General Questions and Answers

Hi I unlocked my phone from a thread here in xda forum but can not find the link now. Recently I factory reset my phone because my it became terribly slow. Now when I go to an app and back to home, my home page always flashes white with HTC written and loading sign appears and then gets back to normal. But I cannot go to the market or online anymore and also cannot sign in to google account. So I wanted to restore the data from a backup I did before. I am not sure through which software I did that. I have some files in a backup folder I kept in my PC. The files are
1) .android_secure.vfat.tar
2)boot.img
3)cache.ext4.tar
4)data.ext4.tar
5)nandroid.md5
6)recovery.img
7)system.ext4.tar
Now I tried to install CWM recovery. I tried the method where you have to put a CWM image file and adb files in a folder(total 5 files) and install them through command prompt whlie your phone connected to PC as fastboot USB in bootloader. But when I tried to install it I got "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" this method. I don't know if the way I am following is the right one or not. I want to just go to the position where I unlocked my phone first time. Some information appears in the top screen when I boot into the bootloader.

Maybe this will help to understand what I have done with this device which apparently I don't. Also when I try to go to the recovery option in the bootloader it shows a Red Triangle with exclamation mark infront of a device picture.
My phone's software info are,
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Can anyone please help me to get my phone to normal. Thanks.

It seems that your problem is complicated. Stock software and no recovery access makes it difficult to give an appropriate advice. Maybe something wrong was flashed on this phone or the worst case - "fried" eMMC chip. You can try to search across the forum for any similar or try various solutions but I cannot advice how to proceed. Sorry

Hint - flash hboot 0.98.2000
After use the latest RUU 2.10.401.8
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Thanks for the quick reply. I have already tried flashing hboot_0.98.0000_361a7ba6_0310 onto it using android flasher in "fastboot usb plug" but it reboots and gets stuck at the htc logo again until i remove the battery.
Also here is what androidflasher shows me :
sending "hboot" (1024kb)...
OKAY [0.191s]
writing "hboot"...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!
OKAY [0.030s]
finished.total time:0.221s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [0.248s]
finished.total time:0.248s
rebooting....
finished. total time: 0.244s
**update**
was able to flash 4ext recovery using android flasher onto my device and tried updating with the ruu again. It still gets stuck at the htc logo white background (so i painfully remove battery again) but when i try running the ruu again from my pc it shows that i have the same version as the ruu.
Still stuck at white screen. Help!!!

see the version of the bootloader
if it is still 6.98.xxxx this is you problem. Flash 0.98.2000 with PG88IMG.zip from the SDcard or try 2.00.2002 - you can find this in the forums also
linkin8k
I have the same problem and I have not found the solution up here.
can anybody tell me can i solve this by JAG?i can do jtag my self
thanks for the replies sorry i couldn't post yesterday was trying to be in a festive mood.
**my progress**
I have tried all i can to update the bootloader, from putting the pg88img file in through root of sd to update through 4ext recovery to tryin to use android flasher to put the 0.98.2000 it won't just update.
please what else can i do?? is there a hboot installer for windows for me to try??
please help AmidaBuddha u have done a lot but i still need a little help. thanks
As much as i know would be the last possible solution to replace the bootloader with dd command inside adb shell or try to flash it with fastboot (to make this the htc drivers [if you are using windows] and the android sdk with the given android plattform-tools must be installed, if some parts are not present look at the index thread)
Walkthrough:
fastboot:
reboot your device to bootloader and put it in fastboot mode
open commanline at your pc
attach device to pc
cd to the directory where the hboot.img is ( extract it from the pg88img.zip file)
Code:
fastboot devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
this replaces your current hboot with the hboot.img file, don't interrupt the process or pull the usb cable, this can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong.
dd:
put the needed .img file of the bootloader at the root of your sd (extract it from the pg88img.zip file) and rename it to hboot.img
reboot to recovery
Open commandline at your pc
attach device to pc
Code:
adb devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
adb shell
(this opens the adb command shell, from where you can execute shell commands right at your device)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
(this backups your current bootloader partition to the backup.img file)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(this replaces your bootloader partition with the boot.img)
exit
(exits adb shell)
adb reboot bootloader
(reboots your device to bootloader)
this backups your current bootloader to /sdcard/backup.img and replaces it with the boot.img, but beware this is hard stuff and be carefull, don't stop the execution of the any dd command and never pull the usb-cable while it writes your bootloader, this definitly can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong, good luck.
Tectas thanks, see what i get using fastboot:
on command line:
c:\users>fastboot devices
SH14HTJ05*** fastboot
c:users> cd c:\temp
c:\temp>fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
sending `hboot` <1024 kb>... OKAY
writing `hboot`... INFOimage update is bypassed!
OKAY
on phone under bootloader menu:
Can not roll back hboot version
........
will try dd option now.

[Q] Bricked HTC, Can't Access Recovery

** PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD **
Hey, noob with many regrets here.
My device is a HTC One Mini (M7), yesterday I tried to change the ROM. I installed the Sense 6 Framework and now my phone is bricked. I have TWRP working but when I attempt to push the old working ROM it loads for a while, then gives me 'protocol error' in cmd. I viewed the files through the TWRP file manager and saw that the /sdcard is completely empty. When I boot the phone up and try to use it normally it gets stuck on the HTC screen, at the bottom 'powered by ANDROID' with the development purposes notes in red writing over it.
edit: Managed to re-unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, can now access recovery.
edit 2: Had LOTS of problems with ADB, after lots and lots of re-tries I was able to finally push a ROM.zip over to the phone and install.
Some figures you may find helpful:

Hey AjanD i hope i can help u with your problem.
The first thing after unlocking your bootloader (which makes your phone S-On) is to flash a recovery.
I would suggest TWRP recovery . The think u do is go to fastboot with volume down key+power button
After u download the TWRP recovery for your Htc One you enter the following command to flash recovery
" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img the name of the twrp recovery.img) .Then you should be able
to access recovery menu. Hope I helped you

Attemting to get my HTC One M8 out of boot loop... help?

Okay, I'm going to begin by saying I'm not particularly well versed in this sort of thing.
Sunday night, my phone ran out of juice and I went to plug it up. Rather than function as normally, the screen stayed off for several seconds while the LED remained orange, as if it was charging. A few moments later, the phone would only go to the bootloader screen, and was stuck in a boot loop.
Now, the phone is still in a boot loop, but I'm trying to boot it from the SD card in order to fix it.
The phone software is official, I've never Rooted it or made any modification to the OS, and the phone status on the bootscreen is as follows:
*** Software Status: Official ***

Try putting RUU on an SD-Card or through ADB and see if it works.

S-ON is fine if you don't know or need S-OFF
The thread explains exactly how to flash the RUU
"Option 2
Copy 0P6BIMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!
Reboot phone to bootloader and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUUish file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
example
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
To answer your PM, use this one:

Rename
DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_ON_5.0.1_RUU.zip
To
0P6BIMG.zip
Okay, I'll attempt this tomorrow b/c I'm in an area with REALLY bad Wi-Fi right now, can I update you in the morning?
