[Q] Pyramid stuck in fastboot-loop - HTC Sensation

Hi there.
I've got an unbranded htc sensation device (manufactured for india). lat week i updated to cm9, and accidentally got a 1.29 hboot. after that I tried to flash the stock ICS for my pyramid. so, the situation is:
cid HTC__038
hboot version 1.29.0000
radio 11.24A.3504.31_m
openadsp v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
pyramid pvt ship s-on locked.
working adb, fastboot connection
i've got no working rom on the device, stuck in fastboot-loop.
there is no possibility to use revolutionary s-off because of hboot version 1.29, and because the non-working system (cannot put in debug mode)
i tried to flash the lastest 3.33 firmware, bit it still uses a previous version of hboot. (something messed up with signature check fail)
i cannot flash a non-official rom befause s-on.
do i have any possible steps to make my phone working with ics+sense?
all the answers will be "thanked" & btw sorry for my bad english

I actually did this, with the same results. Is it a possible way if modify the partitions by a partitioning software running on pc, and manually edit the partitions' files, changing them to the correct ones, came from the official rom.zip file? I think (dont hit me if i was wrong), this way I can bypass all the s-on and locked bootloader stuff, maybe I can downgrade from hboot 1.29 without wire tricks, and install the stock ICS for pyramid.
what about the PG58IMG stuff? I can modify the removable sd card's files, so i can insert PG58IMG things to root, the phone is actually reads it. what if I somehow inject the Unlock_code.bin into some kind of PG58IMG, and apply this way the unlocking?
could be anything of these upper is working?

Nope can't/won't work
We could try one thing... Try changing cid
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then ignore errors and reboot
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And check cid again
fastboot getvar cid
If it changed then you can very well flash European unbranded ruu and then boot to a working rom
If it not worked.. Then send a PM to FOOTBALL and ask for Indian ruu.. He might charge some minimal amount based on the scarcity of the ruu.. But if you got proper Indian ruu then you will come out of the boot loop fine

You have working adb when in boot loop?
Then you can try my temp-root and then jb SOFF process.. Link in my signature
Have slim chances of working.. But worth a try

cid change is done, now it's HTC_001.
i tried to flash RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.53-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-280871-signed's rom.zip from the temp, renamed to PG58IMG, copied to sdcard's root.
phone said: "lower hboot version"
is there any stock htc ROM with hboot 1.29?
if no, is it a possible way to change the zip to contain a 1.29 hboot version?
edit: i've got no bootloop, but at power-on I'm suddenly passed to fastboot screen without any boot process
but fastboot usb connection is always working, fastboot devices responses are always positive.

Awesome... That will solve our issue now
Do this copy the New PG58IMG zip file to your fastboot folder
And try these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (if failed stop there and don't do any thing else and simply paste back the output here)
fastboot reboot
Done
Edit: if the fail at third step is.. Something like.."Hboot pre update... Please flush the rom immediately again"] then repeat the third step again. (i.e this one fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip)

hmm this has some weird combination (modelid indicates that the phone is normal sensation ..but firmware version says that the phone is xe!!!) ..but lets see
download the XE version of the same RUU you've downloaded earlier (will have LE in its Name) and get the rom.zip and flash the rom.zip manually using the fastboot commands ive given you earlier

To change MID you need S-OFF. The RUU checks MID so if the 3.33.401.153 RUU fails try the 3.33.401.53 one

Ahh as suspected
What happened is you have somehow flashed sensation xe hboot and rest of them have normal sensation counterparts...
I need you to do something now... Download the universal 3.33 firmware from kohr-ah firmware thread in sensation development section..
Then extract the zip
Open android-info.txt file and replace version-main with 3.33.401.53
And save it
Also you have the rom.zip of the normal sensation 3.33.401.53 right.. Get the hboot.nb0 (the name will be big but the extension remains same) and replace the hboot.nb0 present in the firmware zip with this one..
Then remake the firmware.. PG58IMG.zip
Then try to flash this... Obviously it will fail.. But if that replaces the hboot you are having then all is well
So after the above exercise.. You need to try flashing normal sensation rom.zip again
Hopefully it works

Put phone into fastboot mode then run the RUU exe file again - should solve 155 error, if not then use fastboot oem getvar cid and flash a 3.32 firmware from the dev section that has your cid number in. out of curiosity what RUU are you trying to flash?
after this RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R2_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_253443_signed
the loop started.
can i ruu a GB file RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed
i didnt undestand how to select that firmware file, my cid is 11111111 and mid PG5811001, can you help me get it, my battery charge might run out, i tried just plugging it into power but it shows the light and starts to bootloop.
Anyway i need to s off but all the methods require to boot in to the system, is their anyway to s off while staying at the fastboot. thanks

Pull out the battery, then reinsert, hold volume down & poeer, then connect your phone to the pc and re run the ruu. The first time that you ran the ruu, it made a hboot pre update.
Run the same ruu that you ran last.

I'm tired of having to explain something that's so simple.
try to change your recover, download clockwork_rec_img
and in fastboot flash it like :
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now select recover, and you should get the clockwork mod recov, and do the flash from zip stuffs,
also if im right from fastboot
u need to do fastboot update rom.zip, to update a rom, but it needs to be signed
oh u can download the recovery image in droid recovery manager, i did not used it to flash tho, just to dload
Don't wary dud we will try all .
First download costom recovery and old stock rooted Rom better 2.3.3 with unsecured boot.img
Extrect costom recovery and rename
.img file to recovery.img
1. Downloaded custom recovery (ext4) put it in adb tool folder.
2. Put your sensation in fastboot connect usb.
3. Open cmd on pc form adb tool folder
4. Type "fastboot devices" is your connected or not if yes. Then
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
Now go to recovery it will work.
If get that than contact me for next to get s-off "[email protected]"

Whats your hboot and what's your radio?
Sent from my HTC One S
my radio hboot is 2.16.0000
My radio is 1.20.50.05.16
How did you get the phone S-ON again? ?
I had the same issue as you for me it helped to install the TWRP 2.6.10 and then i made a sideload.
With any other Recovery your storage stays at 48mb you have to have this version of the TWRP recovery.
I will post some quotes as soon as the search function is avalible again.
EDIT: follow this guide:

Did you tried to flash it or did you flashed it? Its necessary to have it on your device with 2.16 HBOOT! Have you an working ADB on your computer? If not download it (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
Its much better than any toolkit. Error 99 just shows up because your SDK/ADB is outdated thats why its not working.
So first of all install the newest version of AndroidSDK (link above) then write back.

Sideload works just as i described in another post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45798359&postcount=825
Just open up TWRP and choose the sideload option and then just follow the link above (type the commands in the ADB to sideload the ROM, the you just click on install .zip and choose the "sideload.zip" but remember you have to have S-OFF again after Flashing MaximusHD)
If i helped you you can alway click the thanks button, i really appreciate this

My carier is Fido(Owned by rogers) So i can use the rogers ruu for ti but i don't know any compatible roms for the ruu
I Go on every day at 3:00 pm Eastern Time. Im going to try to side load the rom tomorrow
Edit: Also is there any way i can go back to how my recovery was ( With out sideloading ) So i can mount and flash instead ? Because im going to get a rom compatible with hboot 2.16 then put s-off again then im going to find out how to downgrade it back to normal. My only question is how do i install a ruu And which rom should i install it on.... Im going to get the rogers ruu for my htc one s.

1st of all only the maximushd ROM is compatible with the 2.16 hboot and not any other ROM yet. So you have to downgrade your hboot first. (i dont know exactly how it works but im sure you'll get help in this forum if you ask for it )
2nd: The right RUU for your One S depends on where you live for example (europe or "WWE" for world wide, or north america,) then you have to choose the right carrier for your phone but only if its carrier branded if not then take a non branded ruu.
Then you have to choose the version of the RUU for e.g. 4.1.1 for the latest one.
The right RUU for me would be the "OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96.zip" one
3rd you cant simply flash a RUU via recovery. A RUU is an .exe file for your pc and your phone has to be connected to your pc to flash it. If the RUU setup shows errors, like "hboot is too new/unknown" you have to downgrade your hboot manually before flashing a RUU.
Hi do you know any roms that are compatible withh hboot 2.16 that DONT need s-off because im going to s-off from that rom then downgrade my hboot so i cant run viper one s
Can u please help me find a rom that is compatible with hboot 2.16 and u dont need s-off ?

Stuck in BootLoader & unable to unlock the phone

Hi, I have a very frustrating problem with my HTC One Mini.
Out of nowhere, my phone won't boot into the OS but goes straight into the bootloader.
This is what my bootloader looks like:
Code:
*** LOCKED ***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
OS-4.09.401.3

<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT

POWER DOWN
I can't perform a factory reset and I can't get into recovery either. I tried to unlock the phone so I could flash the recovery and install a ROM from there. So I went to htcdev.com and started the bootloader unlock process. I downloaded the Unlock_code.bin file and tried to flash the unlock token:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Nothing happens on the phone after this. I read on the forums I maybe had to run a RUU so I went to the HTC ROM download page and downloaded the RUU and ran it. The phone rebooted but didn't go into RUU mode. After some time, I get a USB Connection error (171).
I tried to get into RUU mode with fastboot but that also doesn't work.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Welcome to the XDA forums, Vyperz52! I'm currently trying to solve a very similar problem with my HTC One Mini, and I have one suggestion that might help. Have you tried flashing some different form of recovery? Trying to flash TWRP recovery might work, it didn't for me but it's worth a try [https://twrp.me/devices/htconeminigsm.html]. Try the Fastboot install method (reading and accepting the risks that come with trying to install different recovery software).

I contacted HTC about the bootloader unlock issue but they won't help because they don't recommend unlocking the BL because it can cause the phone to crash and become unusable. After which I replied to them that's already the case without doing the unlock.
