Hi,
Haven't you recently flashed a stock ruu?
This will have removed hboot fastboot.
You need to run revolutionary again to restore your fastboot.
It will error out, but you will get revolutionary hboot flashed.

Yes I did friend, I tried running revolutionary on my pc but it won't open up, it just open for a quick second and off. Do I need to go to the revolutionary site again and input my info then download the revolutionary zip?

You need to remove HTC sync it stop revolutionary from running
/edit I think droid explorer messes with it too, I ended up formatting my laptop first time round as something was preventing revolutionaryfrom running

[Q] Help : Bootloader erased, Sensation is now bricked

Dear all
As I was flashing the ICS Firmware file I changed my mind and pulled the sd-card out and instead of pushing the Vol Down to cancel I pushed the Vol up.
The phone then started to update without the SD-Card in, I suppose it was erasing everything and now the phone is dead.
No charging light, Nothing. It is not detected by the PC what ever I do.
Is there any possible way to re-flash the bootloader again?
Please Help, my phone is out of warranty.
Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards

What you did was a very foolish thing, never flash firmware if you are unsure or even if you are, never ever pull sd card or battery out once it has started.
The only thing I can think of is try flashing an RUU. if not, u need to take it to a service center

I know it is a foolish thing to do and no it is not detected by ADB or the USB port.
I hope there is a way to fix this other than changing the main board.

Well, since adb won't see it, the ruu wont either. Congrats, its a brick Just call HTC and tell them you were installing an ota update when it died... You might be lucky and have it repaired

Don't know what possessed you to pull out the sd card when you could have just pressed down button. If it's completely bricked, chances are HTC will replace since they can't access anything to check your history.

They will repair it for sure as it is not warranty covered and I will pay for it , But I wonder how much it will cost and which part they will change.

The phone is out of warranty. So they will likely change the main board if they can't flash a new boot loader.

Is there no way to flash the boot loader again ?

Usually means it can only be repaired using special software not available to us. Always know 100% what you're doing when you do low-level flashes and never, ever change your mind about anything mid-flash.
HTC can flash it, but depending on how you explain the situation to them, it might cost some change.

[Q] A pending update to your boot partition has been detected - 4EXT

Good day to All,
I Need Help.
Intro,
My Phone is Sensation 4G S-Off, HBoot 1.27.110, Firmware 3.33 Universal.
Rom being Used is ViperS 1.41.
What Happened,
I was flashing a different kernel (that I used before multiple times) and my problem started,
The Problem,
The Phone starts, HTC Logo (behind a white background) and after less than a minute it shuts down.
I can access 4EXT Recovery normally after seeing a notification message stating ("A pending update to your boot partition has been detected") and after I click through it I can access 4EXT normally.
What did I do,
Tried flashing multiple kernels, Multiple Roms, restored Multiple Backups and still the same thing. HTC Logo and it shuts down, and if the phone is plugged in to the power it will keep boot looping.
I would highly appreciate some input as I can't use my phone what so ever.

Turn SmartFlash off as you have no need of it (you are S-OFF)

Same setup as OP
S-off' hboot- 1.27
After flashing a kernel, and selecting reboot now, a message appeared about pending update detected. After reboot, will not pass HTC logo.
I've tried different kernel, roms, and backups, and still nothing.
This happened after flashing Sultan-kernel rc4 1512ghz. My phone booted before at higher ghz so I don't believe that's the issue.
Edit: Flashed different ruu, now hboot 1.29 s-off, still same issue.
Thanks for any help possible.

I'm using 4ext. The problem started after i received the prompt for pending update for booting (smart flash). When I boot into recovery I have to disable smart flash even though I'm s-off.

yeah i saw your posts in 4ext recovery thread
glad for you man:good:

Whenever I had this problem happen to me I flashed the boot.img file from the ROM I was using through fastboot then everything worked. Might save you some time next time something like this happens (happened to me a lot when I was S-on using 4ext) because you won't have to wipe everything and reinstall your ROM.

Do I need to s-off my phone before flashing ROM.

I am new to this phone section . I have unlocked bootloader , flashed recovery and rooted the phone.But when i flashed ROM it struck at bootanimation screen . I waited for about half hr. But it doesnt get past bootanimation screen. I tried two ROM and had the same problem with both of them. So i am wondering if i need to s-off my phone before flashing any ROM?

Yes, as Itsakash mentioned you need to have the smartflash option enabled in 4ext recovery. If you have cwm recovery just flash 4ext over it. See HERE

Can you please give me link to download gapp for JB?

Hi,
Yes.
Make a nandrooid backup.
Place ROM and Gapps on sd card,format all partitions (except sd card),enable smartflash,and flash ROM and Gapps straight away.

Thanks. One more question,did I really need to go s-off,if I could flashing roms with s-on?

you can flash any rom you want if you have always enabled first smartflash
the difference between S-ON and S-OFF is that in S-ON devices when flashing a rom it hasn't the ability to write the boot partition by itself(here is where it comes smartflash)
in S-OFF devices there is no need for that feature
that's why most of us with S-ON are using 4ext recovery(smartflash)
