Stuck on white screen - HTC Sensation

This Sensation is my friend's phone, she said me he stop an upgrading and after that the phone stop working. When you power on is stuck on the white screen whit htc logo. I try an hard reset (all the software on the phone is orignal htc), it starts but when reboots to complete, it is stuck on white screen.
My friend bought it 2 months ago.
What do you think about it?

Hi,
If it got stuck doing an OTA update,you should talk to your carrier or HTC.

Before this I prefer try something else, otherwise I would not be here. With the assistance I know when I leave the phone but dont know when is back.

Ruu might be a way out... Check for ruu guide and info thread by kgs in sensation general section.. And read it.. Find the proper ruu and flash it.. All this can be done from bootloader

Hi,
As ganesh says ,RUU may work.
Look HERE

I try RUU but there's a little problem: I can't turn on the phone, so HTC Sync can't connect and RUU doesn't work.

Hi,
Pull the battery.
Replace it,and power on holding the volume down and the power button.
This should take you to bootloader.
Plug in your USB,and run the RUU.

Hi,
You are running the wrong one.
Check the link given for the links to the RUU's
Make sure it matches the carrier,and area,and firmware,and cid

And remember , With locked bootloader u can't flash lower version of RUU
Sent from my Sensation

this is the problem, in the list of RUU there's only one that match the provider: 1.45.165.1; but the version on the phone is: 1.50.165.1

IMHO send your cell to HTC they will give u replacement in warranty as everything is stock ,
U can also unlock bootloader and flash RUU but it may void your warranty..
So best option is get replacement.

Ruu won't work even if you unlock the bootloader
What you can do is after unlock you can flash a custom gingerbread rom...
Check for asskickar guide on flashing roms with SON.. In sensation general section and use it to flash a custom gingerbread rom... Remember all(most) the roms here are of ics/jb which absolutely won't work for you.. You need to find a gingerbread rom

For lower version of ruu to run you need SOFF..
Maybe you misinterpreted the statement given by kgs1992 but he does know this.
Unlock of bootloader only gives you the ability to flash custom roms which support that firmware version

Help an idiot out

so i unlocked my device via HTCDev.com thinking since its htc device and all they said was i had to unlock bootloader to flash custon OS's i already knew about S-OFF but being the site didn't talk about it(why would it) i went and flash virtouous ROM and got stuck at the HTC screen. i wasnt thinking so i never backed up the stock HTC Rom!!
now i tried 2 of those RUU's in the shipped rom thread the tmous ones with 29 and 50 both saying wrong version.
my question here is there anyway to get at least one RUU to work or get s-off from HBOOT?
my reason of doing this after going back to completely stock is i cant wait any longer for HTC/Tmobile to get us ICS so i tried the custom way and failed lol
I am sure unless you super SID you will have to find ROMs specific for the country the phone came from.
Eg my phone was from Asia region and I could not flash Euro ROMs
ok from the Shipped rom thread in the dev section for the sensation i was trying to go back to stock to gain s-off but the tmous(USA) which is where i am from said wrong version.

What h boot version do you have?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium
Hboot: 1.18.0000
Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid to see if these still match the ROM you were trying to flash.
says for cid is t-mob010
i guess out of the 2 stock ruu"s from the post doesnt match that?
edit: ok from what i learned in another post i opened up the rom.zip file and looked at android-info.txt both the cid and mid matched my phones from the RUU file "RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed" buuuuttttt it tried to update it but fails saying i need to correct version :\

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium
Yes i am. the 2 Ruu's i am using seem to have matching info to my phone when i went to get the rom.zip it uses to send to my phone and looked in the android-info.txt but tell me to get the correct RUU and try again. i got the from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 under the tmous RUU one with 29 and the other 50.
so i am just stuck at the white screen with the word HTC. if i could get s-off and SuperCID through fastboot that would be awesome but googling it shows up that i cant s-off via fastboot ughhh
still no luck cant seem to flash anything without s-off or supercid
so looks like i am jumping the boat going to sprint this thursday and geting the iphone 4s...byebye android
If you can get into fastboot you should be able to flash RUU from there. Just download the RUU.exe and run it as administrator. Follow the prompts in the exe program while your phone is in fastboot mode.

Maybe iCrap is better for you. When you use Android phones and want to complete unlock them for flashing customroms aso you shoud realy learn to read before you do something. I hate it when people are not able to read about the stuff they want to do and when something goes wrong they blaim Android for it.
To get s-off, super CID and root on a HTC Android device is realy easy if you read the how-to threads and normaly takes about 15 minutes.
Have fun with your iCrap 4S and please don't try to jailbreak it before you read some stuff.
Sent from my Revolver powered ICS Asus Transformer TF101
first off let me say i have rooted and flashed roms on my sensation before just fine. i was unlocking via htcdev.com and figured their method didnt require s-off since it didnt say anything about it. it just talked about unlocking it to put customs os's on it. 2nd i always had a love hate thing for IOS since i had the 3G and ipod touch.
far as using the RUU'ss it tells me i need the correct Ruu version or something like that. maybe because i didnt run as admin but i have all that stuff turned off due to the theme i used for windows 7 required it off.
If I were you I would Super CID your device. That is what I had to do. A great guide that I used was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
i tried and i get this error
vreg_set: request is duplicated id 14

and my cid remains the same as t-mb010
how can i fix it? would love to get mt device back up and running
You can recover this. Firstly read this guide, regarding downgrading hboot and getting s-off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23222794
The problems are due to HTC.dev not unlocking all parts of the boot loader - you can't flash radio.img or boot.img so nothing is working.

Desire s bootloop during downgrade

Hi,
i was trying to downgrade my desire s with tacoroot,'cause zergrush give me some error messages on the command line....so,i followed all the procedure for the downgrade,'till i came across step 5..after i've done it,my desire rebooted...and still strucked on the "htc quietly brilliant" logo!it continue to bootloop!what i have to do to continue the procedure for the downgrade?my desire s have the 2.00.0002 hboot..and is s-on and unrooted..i was just starting to do all the stuff!
please help!:fingers-crossed:
When it's temp rooted, run the miscversion binary with adb and downgrade using the oldest RUU for your phone
the bootloop is normal.
My phone doesn't even start up , unless I go into the bootloader menu and press recovery . Instead of the recovery opening up , my phone goes into the GUI. I can't seem to flash a new recovery either, due to which I can't flash a new Rom. I have tried all possible solutions but just can't seem to figure it out. Plese help me !

It gets your device in the relocked state and I think thats what most users don't want if they're still on waranty

If he is on gb he doesnt need to unlock, he can straight s-off it and retain his warranty, the guide to do that totally works. Unlocking is totally unnecessary and is just going the extra road to s-off.
Your post is only if someone who has upgraded to official ics and wans to s-off, which is not possible as the person first needs to unlock.

ok so you have tried to follow my guide above which bit are you having trouble with in flashing recovery?make sure you are selecting fastboot in the bootloader and that it should say usb try checking if the phone can be seen by using fastboot devices.

[Q] is my device recoverable

hi all,
i HAD a sensation running Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. and without checking properly, i installed AOKP-42-20130118.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. the phone won't boot or charge. i then realised this is not a sensation rom, it's a HTC ONE rom, i think!! . i've followed the HTC Unbricking Project and get "device not found...check connections" in ubuntu. phone shows up on windows as other device labeled QHSUSB_DLOAD. is my phone toast? sorry if all this sounds amateurish as im completely new to all this. thanks all.
thats some dangerous thing happened there ..if HTC UNBRICKING not doing any help ..then service center only

you received the phone with LOCKED bootloader and SOFF ?
then before doing anything ..i would suggest you to ..check whether the phone is soff or not (I've seen 3 cases at-least where the phone showed soff (after the phone got back from service center) but its not actually soff and people bricked their phone again trying to flash stuff) ... to check soff status go to my soff guide (link in my signature)..try the controlbear soff NO HTC_DEV unlock one ..if the phone is properly soff then the controlbear says soff and exits ..otherwise your phone is not soff ..
also you cant do HTC-DEV unlock (motherboard got replaced so IMEI changed) as IMEI changed and the unlock procedure fails ..the only way is JB SOFF

yes install juopunutbear hboot via controlbear and if that didnt went successfully ..install patched revoultionary hboot (at the end of first post i think) from kohr-ah firmware thread present in sensation development section.
then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )

A kernel is the what interprets the commands between the hardware and the software. When the software needs the hardware to do something it sends it to the kernel. So everything is controlled by it. Flashing a new kernel could fix the problem.

Hold Power and Volume Down until the screen shuts off and lights stop flashing, then let go of power and continue holding volume down Your boot loader will open. If it reads "Tampered" "Unlocked" at the top of the screen, you have root access. If it does not then you are stock. To exit boot loader you use the volume button to go to reboot and hit power button to choose.

If you want to keep your phone stock, follow a box of kittens advice and try a factory reset. Or download update. If you wish to unlock and flash a custom Rom, please research carefully before doing so. Make sure you know your phones code name wich is also in bootloader info. Should say evita. All unlocking tools and custom roms will be tagged with the evita name.

I have tried a factory data reset but the problem persist
what are the chances for hardware problem
Have you tried downloading the ruu from HTC like jerrycoffman suggested? I would give it a shot and if it doesn't work then follow his advice about a warrenty replacement. It would let you know if it is kernel related or hardware. It's the fastest way to find out and keeps your phone stock for replacement.

[Q] It's bricked guys, and this is serious sht

Hello guys, mainly developers and their friends who might mention my case between each other.
This is a quite big problem, so maybe these few lines below deserve a second read.
From the very beginning: I bought an XE in Europe from second hand. I was about to open the bootloader by using htcdev. As a good layman I found a useless thread which's misled me: I factory reset the phone and after that I did not enable USB Debugging. On the official htc site of unlocking bootloader I chose the option from the list, titled 'Sensation EU'. Since then I've already found out this is an Asian device (cid: ASIA-HK-CHT HTC__622), so I should have chosen 'All other supported device'. In the last step by unlocking bootloader I got a question about unlocking it, or not, whereupon I asked it to do so, causing immediate freeze on the screen.
So, this smartie is bricked now - even though I can reach the bootloader(h-boot 1.29) and the recovery(stock) too - considering the following: I can't unlock it anymore by using the right 'Unlock_code.bin' file either, since it shows me the same frozen screen after choosing 'yes' (by step 12 at htcdev). Nor I can S-OFF or accomplish the RUU procedure. At the latter I can go until it's checked the P58IMG.zip file, and asking me for applying the update. When I press vol_up the brick begins updating the bootloader and never finishes. I mean I like watching that screen for hours, colorful and I'm really obsessed with the phrase 'Updating...', but I'd still like to use this sensation for calls and things. If run the execute file(RUU) on PC, while the phone is connected via 'FASTBOOT USB' it gets stuck at 'rebooting bootloader...' In fastboot I can't even erase my cache, neither in recovery.
Do you think, it'll ever be able to use for its destiny again, if I'd follow the instructions you may give me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for your response. I can't factory reset from nowhere, it causes frostbite. So the details:
H-BOOT Pyramid 1.29.0000, LOCKED, S-ON; the phone main version is 3.32.708.151

Thank you guys, I really appropriate your help. The only thing is when I try to run the execute file, it stops doing anything by "rebooting bootloader"... After 20 minutes the same screen, and the guide only tells me that it takes approximately 10 minutes. When I try to flash it from bootloader, I doesn't go any further then updating bootloader.
Question: the RUU on the link you post is 3.33.707. My phone is HK and not WWE, so it's 708 and not 707. In the txt the cid version is HTC__621, mine is HTC_622. Do you think is enough if I'd just write my cid number into that? I'll givi it a go anyways, but if you have any advice...
Thank guys, you're the best.

Ohh then the ruu won't work and changing the cid won't help either.
Hmm we need that ruu
Otherwise try the soff without htcdev (guide link in my signature) as you can't htcdev unlock it

still nothing

Yeah, thanks for the link, but it doesn't work either. I've written the 'cidnum: HTC__622' (without any spaces before and after that) into the txt, but after it's checked the P58IMG.zip doesn't ask me anything, just let me be in bootloader like I'd have started the device in bootloader mode without SD.
all right

All right, I will try to S-OFF using your guide, but the 3rd and 4th points are not available for me. So I can only connect my phone to PC with Fastboot USB. :\ What do you think?
p.s. This is the file I could go the furthest with: RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.32.708.112_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_253449_signed.exe
As you see, it is still 3.32, but finally 708, but the last number from that part really makes me anxious, because it's 112, and on my phone that number is 151. I really don't want to give up, so any advice will be appropriated. (Yes, I've seen the donate me button on your profile )

Well, I'm in command: "* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *|* daemon started successfully *" and it's been nothing happening since I've started the method 10 min ago.
"Hmm we need that ruu" => which numbers must match you think in the name of the file? And where the hell to find? yahoo twice better than ggl, so I found the previous one I've showed you.

Flash the ruu with phone connected from fastboot
Thats should work
Also if the ruu flashing stuck at some point.. There will be a log generated at C:/ruu post the log here (latest modified file)
Edit: btw Donate won't work for me. You can donate to devs on my behalf if you want
