ICS

hello,
i have rooted my sensation (EU).. it is unlocked bootloader with s-on and hboot 1.27.0000 and when i tried to install unofficial ROM it instaled via recovery but freezes when it reboots from recovery...
and now i cant use my phone and i dont know how to unsolve the problem...
please help

Did you download 4ext recovery and enable smart flash ? Did you download the required 3.32 firmware?
I believe s on requires smart flash each time you flash a Rom. Also 4ext recovery is needed. Hope this helps, I'm s off so I flash a bit different than you but I believe this will help you.

follow this guide to the letter then flash the rom again ....(for all adb commands in the guide you can skip them ..as you cant boot now ...and the adb commands are used only to take the phone to bootloader ..which you can do it manually)
or to come out of the stuck screen first
try the extra 1 step present in the above guide

HTC Sensation s/w Brick?

my friend installed Rom from CWM and it stuck on HTC Logo (i guess boot loop)
after some research i told him to do
we found out that he phone is S-ON
is it possible to fix this kina of Brick?
i dont need links or something like that just a possible route how to fix it..
Thank you..

You have to flash boot.img from rom zip file from fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes or enable smartflash in 4ext recovery... Do you have matching fw?

you may have to flash the boot.img manually
that's why it's not booting

in order to get S-OFF i need to install the Boot.img?
i cant just install Stock FIrmware (if possible)
and unlock Bootloader"?

S-OFF is a different story
i suppose you have already unlock bootloader
what fw do you have?

can i take Customize Rom Install it via CWM then install extract boot.img from Zip install it via Fastboot?

yes you can do it via cwm but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.it is better

As you have cwm your bootloader has been unlocked.... Fastboot or 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled

ok Installed 4EXT
installed serveral Roms with SmartFlash On and also tried Boot.img manually
phone boots but when reach to OS loading it restart again and again..
i need to change the Ext on the System or something?
what else needed to be done?
install the required files 3.33.401.x
for the Rom and still not working
do i need to instal Full Rom of 3.33.401.x
then required files then rom?

it matters.
now with that hboot version you can easily S-OFF your device using this site
http://revolutionary.io/ after this you have to change your cid to supercid in order to flash whatever rom you want
if you don't want to do that:go again to this thread

flash first the appropriate 3.32 fw then the appropriate 3.33 fw and follow step4B in the link i provided you in my previous post

Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing custom ROM? if yes then restore it, if no then that was silly
If no then there are 2 things you can do:
1. Flash a GB ROM then S-OFF using revolutionary.io method
2. Flash a 3.32 or 3.33 RUU then flash custom ROM
Out of the two I would go with no. 1 because it will save you a great deal of headache later on because revolutionary S-OFF is easier and more user friendly than JuopunutBear

we manage to fix the Brick by using this Thread

[Q] trouble with flashing ROMS

Unlocked and flashed twrp on my brothers sensation 4G and flashed a few ROMS, none of them wil go past the boot animation screen. not sure what to do next or what im doing wrong. please help or guide me in the right direction. thanks

When said 'unlocked what exactly do you mean? Is it s-off? Is it HTCDev unlocked?
Bootloops occur when the kernel, firmware and rom do not all match. I would suggest flashing 4ext recovery and marking 'smartflash' option before flashing any roms.
Than flash 3.33 firmware (see my signature).
Later, flash roms. I would suggest starting with ARHD (Android Revolution HD) which is close to stock.
If it goes well you're good to go on other roms.

hi,
first what recovery are you using for flashing roms?
because you are on S-ON i suggest you to use 4ext recovery
before flashing a rom:
1)format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
2)enable smartflash from it
3)flash the rom
see how it goes
about bootloader use ruu with the same or higher firmware as yours
because you are on S-ON you can't downgrade hboot version(which means downgrade firmware too)

not from recovery
that rom.zip extracted from ruu it can be flashed only from bootloader
see the instructions on how to from the ruu thread
by the way this ruu contains 1.45 fw version which is lower than yours(which means lower hboot version)
that's why you have that error
as an alternative solution you can flash from recovery the stock rom

[SOLVED] [Help me revive my sensation[stuck on boot screen while trying s_off]

Ok first things first.. this all is what I did and what's my present situation
1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).
Have also tried a few more methods but none seem to work.
Help guys.

he has to be on S-OFF to flash a firmware from bootloader and i don't think he achieved S-OFF
what he must to do is enable smartflash from 4ext(if you don't have that recovery use this one)
then flash the rom

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

And where do i get this boot image? From ruu?

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext

Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?

You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.
