Sensation stuck on bootscreen! - HTC Sensation

I decided to update my Sensation today. Its been running Cyanogenmod 9 (Stable Build) for a few months now quite happily. I decided i was gonna update it to the latest 'Kang CM10' build from yesterday (9th Jan). So i chucked my phone into recovery mode and installed the update from SD card without doing anything else beforehand in the hope of preserving my data on the handset. It then got stuck on the boot screen after the install and reboot. So i decided to do the 3 wipes from recovery (CWM) mode, factory, cache and delvik in the hope a new install after these 3 things would help. But alas no, its still stuck on the rotating cyanogenmod bootscreen. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks for the prompt reply! I did try installing that onto my device (4EXT) using the toolkit that's been posted on here, but its specifies that my devices need to be in fastboot usb, but when i hold down the volume button and my power button and select fastboot their isn't an option for USB. Simply 4 options for
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
And Power Down
Sorry if i'm missing something really simple here!

So I have noticed with my phone (hboot 1.14) I have to DISCONNECT it from my computer while in bootloader to be able to boot into recovery. So I do the following:
With phone in bootloader fastboot mode:
1) fastboot reboot-bootloader
2) While the screen is black, DISCONNECT the cable
3) In bootloader, use vol keys navigate to Recovery
4) Hopefully profit
Give it a try

Can you relock the bootloader? If can then download the official RUU(here is 2.20 firmware http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/software-updates) and that'll probably save your phone.
oh, you can use the all in one toolkit(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426) to relock your bootloader if you can.. good luck

You probably corrupted it at some point in this process. You need to mount with your pc and reformat. It happens.

Sweet! Glad I could help, it took me a while to figure it out too, my palms were all sweaty thinking I derped my phone. And about the un-mountable SD card:
I had the same problem with my Nexus 10 when I was unlocking the bootloader, and all I had to do was actually do a format via Recovery (TWRP). Then I was able to boot into the ROM -- although I wasn't able to mount the Nexus 10 SD card still....so thats still a mystery. But I was able to get into the installed ROM

i tried that, and it failed.
i almost had windows format it, but i don't know which format type (FAT 32?)
and i'm still not clear if it will brick if i do
NEW EDIT: it doesn't brick, use default format type.
looks like i'm out of the weeds, thanks for all the quick replies.

Does your TWRP not have a "Format Data" Option in the Wipe Menu?
Edit: Just read your most recent edit, happy flashing hope everything works out. Oh and add [Solved] to your title if you don't mind
it does, but even that didn't work..

[Q] stuck in boot loop / pc not recognizing phone with adb

Hi,
I tried to install a ROM but it got stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to do factory reset but it gets stuck again. I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?

I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?
Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.I am using windows 7. I downloaded the drivers for HTC, and I am using a data cable and the USB port in the back of my computer, nearest the mother board. I do see "Fastboot USB" on the phone but when i type in the command prompt "adb devices" I get nothing.

That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)
Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.
Do let us know how it works.

As far as I know, fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works in recovery or system.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.

I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.

Dear friends,
I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Stuck in "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"

My NExus S is stuck on the screen that says:
Fastboot Mode No Boot or Recovery IMg.
Product Name - Herring
HW Version - Rev34
Bootloader Version - D720SPRKC5
Baseband Version - D720SPRLCI
Carrier Inro - SPR
Serial Number 32300E25C33500EC
Lock State - Locked
options to select
Reboot Bootloader (gives me exact same screen) except it only says "Fastboot"
Reboot Back to the "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"
Recovery (Can boot to CWM but I can't mount anything)
Power OFF (That works fine)
Then the little green man and the android logo
Followed by USB Control INIT
USB Control INIT End
STANDARD_SET_CONFIGURATION
Conventional wisdom says download some files and fix via fastboot. However in fastbootI can't run ANY of the steps without running FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. When I run it my phone asks if I really want to unlock the bootloader. when I choose YEs and hit power it just freezes there.
My next thought Boot to recovery and restore. A restore through recovery followed by a reboot leads me back to the original no boot or recovery img.
Okay I'll just sideload a working rom by mounting usb storage. Then I can flash it with CWM and be up and running.
but when I try to do mount the USB Storage I get "E:Unable to write to ums 1unfile (No such file or directory)"
Finally, Last ditch Effort, I'll load up ODIN and use that to put on a working recovery. there's forums all over the place explaining how to do that right? Well yes, but the links to the Tar file are all broken.
What next my friends? I'd really like to get this phone working.

what about just using adb? Can you find it when you type fastboot devices? If so there's a command in fastboot to reboot to recovery I think.
I on the other hand am screwed. I read in another forum that it hangs on unlock because the internal memory is fubar.

Solution for me:
1. Turn device on into Bootloop
2. Connect it via USB (PC founds it)
3. type in CMD "adb reboot recovery"
4. device is in recovery
5. reflash everything i wanted :good:

Stuck on boot screen

I may have bricked, want to know what went wrong and if it's permanent. Thanks, here's how it happened.
I was running one of the Omnirom nightly builds. I got a notification saying there was a new build, I decided to try it hoping it would improve my battery life. I had TWRP installed so I thought it would be ok (I chose to let it update automatically which I guess was my mistake). It did the update or tried to at least, but when it tried to boot it just gets stuck on the Asus screen. The one with the loading bar. Volume up or down with power button does nothing but get back to the same screen. Reset (using a pin) and volume up or down does the same thing. I thought the only way to permanently boot was doing the wipe option on the recovery menu, but maybe I am wrong. Is it possible to permanently brick doing what I did? Thanks. Any possible solutions?

Unlikely. What always works, if you can put it into fastboot, is install the Asus stock ROM. That will reformat/reinstall every partition.

Hello
Hi
I had basically the same situation of this topic, the only i can access to fastboot.
I formated all my tablet, basically is nothing in the memory
when i tried to access over the recovery, is stuck, only blink.
Fastboot commands works but i dont know how i can recover all.
I know i need to install everything.
Can someone let me know what i can install (Kernel, firmware, rom(I want lollipop).

No bootloader to boot into recoovery .....
No nvflash blobs with a locked bootloader ..

My bootloader is unlocked, unless I am misunderstanding what you're saying. On the Asus screen it says this device is unlocked. Not sure why I can't access any of the options though, unless my volume buttons is busted or something.

Hi
I had basically the same situation of this topic, the only i can access to fastboot.
I formated all my tablet, basically is nothing in the memory
when i tried to access over the recovery, is stuck, only blink.
Fastboot commands works but i dont know how i can recover all.
I know i need to install everything.
Can someone let me know what i can install (Kernel, firmware, rom(I want lollipop).
I had already TWRP 2.8.0
Thanks in advance

First step: Install new TWRP
1. Download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t; I would advise v. 2.8.4.0
2. Put 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob' in fastboot folder of pc and rename to twrp.blob for faster typing.
3. Put tab in fasboot mode and connect.
4. Use command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob[enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot[enter]
5. Let tab reboot to OS (will stay on ASUS screen, because you don't have OS as of now).
6. Reboot to bootloader screen and go to recovery (RCK); now you can flash any custom ROM you like.
Good luck!

No, it just gets me back to the same screen. This is supposed to get me to the recovery menu right?

No! Recovery comes way after fastboot mode. Recovery is loaded from your memory card. But something went wrong with your memory card, so you can't load that.
Once you booted your tablet into fastboot, type :"fastboot devices" on your PC. If it shows your tablet, you can easily flash a new ROM.

I would like to know how you are going to flash a new rom with fastboot ?

Okay, so I ****ed up...

Allright, so I ****ed up.
I had some issues (softwarewise) with my OPO and decided I wanted a factory-reset. As my settings menu softlocked constandly I decided to do it through the recovery module, however, instead of doing a factory reset, I wiped everything but my internal SD (meaning system, Dalvik Cache and one other option).
Currently, I can't get anywhere but to the TeamWin Recovery Module (version 2.7). I can't get anything onto my SD card, as far as I can tell) and I'm stuck.
I ****ed up, I've done this before and should've known better - but is there any way out of this?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Additional info:
I have installed all drivers I could find (Quallcom 2012, from a dropbox link), have the Android SDK and global ADB drivers. The OPO recovery tool (the moduled one to install stock Cyano 11S) does not find/recognise my device and neither does the Quallcom Configuration Tool (QPST), but my computer does show it under "other devices". I'm stuck!

I just did the same thing, no boot logo and no fastboot option after resetting a couple times
You can use the adb sideload feature to push a zip file of your rom back on
I just loaded my rom on my phone and it's booting is i type
download sdk and run cmd prompt adb sideload rom.zip

I've seen that post, however, I do not get to fastboot (power + volUP just powers my device off). When I install SuperSU my device SHOWS fastboot mode but my PC does not allow moving files to it (my pc does recognise it, it makes the USB-device-added sound, but doesn't allow for file transfer).
I have the correct drivers (I'm pretty sure)

This. No need to go through all that hassle of returning to factory rom and losing your files. Do adb sideload from recovery.

Are you switching off, then powering back on while holding volume up?

Yes I am. I'm currently looking at "Fastboot Mode" from the thing TWRP asked me to install when it noticed I had no OS (SuperSU?). But it does not allow my PC to write files to it.

SuperSU has nothing to do with fastboot. And fastboot mode doesn't allow file transfer, that isn't what it's for, but if you're in fastboot mode you don't need to transfer any files, you can just follow the instructions I linked you to earlier.
