[Q] HTC Sensation rebooting after root

Hi all, I am sorry if this is already posted or answered but I spent all day yesterday searching and reading and cannot find the answer.
I have 2 Htc sensations that I messed up some how and would be very grateful if you could help me with them.
Phone 1 has been rooted for a long time and in preparation for ICS I flashed T-mobil: Download 3.32 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
and now the phone works but it will randomly reboot. I have wiped the cache, delvak cache and battery stats.
I am completely lost please help.
Phone 2 I think I may have messed up real bad here is what I did to it.
I rotted it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I got to step 2 sub step 6 and now it continuously reboots it starts with the white screen with HTC on it then goes to another white screen that says HTC Quietly brilliant for a second and repeats.
Please help me yes I am a noob and grateful for any help.

Wow that was a fun ride (not really) it appears I did not flash the PG58IMG file correctly, after I flashed it correctly I got Insert Coin installed and so far it seems that they both are working. only time will tell.
Thanks anyway guys.

If you are trying to install the latest firmware and having the HTC log restart problem. Try to super wipe on the recovery and install first the 3.12 firmware.

Did you install supercid after root?

Both phones are working fine but I have a new question, I can not get the voice dialer to work ie I long press the button on my plantronics bt and say call tom.
I have tried vlingo from the market and this fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133246
but nothing has worked. is it just not working in Insert Coin rom?

Did I just brick my phone?
I tried to flash the 1.17 firmware and the last step failed, now it wont boot at all just a black screen the only thing it will do is the charge lite will come on bit it stays on after I unplug it.

which of the 2 phones you are talking about?
In a previous post you said that problem was solved, now what?
Also, it would be better to know what your bootloader says and what you were attempting to do before black screen.

Sounds like a brick to me, but since the problem is unclear, it's possible to fix. I wish I could help but I don't understand your issue to be honest!

I had 3.32 on it with Insert Coin ICS and thought I have 2 so might as well restore one to factory setting that's when I tried to flash the 1.17 and it never started again.
T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G
The other one is working so I am not messing with it.

I had the same thing happen to me and it was over for the phone. Took it in to tomo and told them it died and after I charged it and went to turn it on, bam, went black and never came back. They never got it to work either and replaced it for me

You mean 1.17 is the hboot?
In this case you installed a hboot for GB while on ICS rom. Obviously it won't work.
If you want to downgrade to GB you can try to run a GB RUU while in bootloader - fastboot usb (if you can still reach it)

He was in the process of going back to gb and that's 1 of the steps. U have to flash a gb firmware to go back to it from ics. I've done it countless times with no issues.

Oh yes I have made many times too buf, if he changed firmware without changing rom obviously get stuck, and this seems happening to him.

No what's happened to him is what happened to me. It's like it gets fried or something. The screen goes black and u can't turn it on or get into bootloader. Tmobile told me when it happened it was dead and got me a new 1

Bricked HTC ONE X AT&T

I checked all the other bricked threads and none have the same problem as me.
My HTC ONE X will not boot and or charge. I cannot get access to the bootloader or recovery.
My HTC ONE X had it's bootloader unlocked via the rogers htc-dev method. I also installed clockwork recovery. It is rooted also but you prob figured that already...
I pulled a bonehead move by flashing the MIUI rom the international one x by changing the update script to flash onto my phone. After it flashed it looked like it worked. When I left recovery and shut the phone off it would not turn back on.
I called AT&T they said they will switch it for me when they get a shipment but I want to keep this phone because the boatloader is unlocked and they might patch the rogers method.
Thanks in advanced.
P.S. I know how to use adb and other tools such as RUU and they did not work.

Have you tried holding the power button for 10 seconds to reset it? You should see the 3 lights below flashing.

Ouch.... Another loss for htc sales

you cant get to hboot? 0.o

First of all, you should be able to get to H-Boot by holding volume down when turning it on.
Second of all, this is why they lock the bootloader in the first place.

H-Boot key combo is not working.
I have been flashing roms since the samsung moment, I built and modified roms on my EVO and ported roms from other phones to the EVO. I always had recovery to fall back onto to get my phone booting again. Even when I had the Xperia Play that required a PC to boot recovery I was still able to get the phone to work. This phone is strange that is will not even turn onto H-boot/Bootloader.

Im glad I have my iPhone to fall back on but it is really annoying that I cannot even get the bootloader to load. I only had it 3 days and already broke it.
Thank God the dude at AT&T cannot get into the bootloader also to see that is was tampered with so they are giving me a replacement.

And people wonder why at&t locks their phones down. I'm guessing you just told them "my phone broke...I have no idea what happened". Just lovely.

Honestly, not trying to call you stupid or something, but did you really think it was going to run on this phone when it was meant for another one? The GPU and CPU are completely different...
Anyway, I'm glad AT&T is replacing it for you. Hopefully if someone else bricks the same way then they will be able to get a replacement as well.

so you are smart enough to use adb, an RUU, unlock your bootloader, root, flash roms.......but you aren't smart enough to see the hundreds of posts saying that the international roms don't work on our phones??

lol

Coming from a phone that is virtually unbrickable (Captivate), I'm quite curious about how you managed to get it into this state. What exactly did you flash? Did the package contain both the system image and bootloaders for the tegra3 one x?

Just pull the batte..... oh

My EVO was unbrickable too, I flashed a rom that was designed for the international version. It only contained system and other basic rom stuff, nothing that was crazy.

No idea why you wouldn't be able to boot into recovery then. I hope all HTC handsets aren't like this..

Phone bricked after At&t update

So I just got my phone back working properly by flashing a Ruu for a previous problem. I was notified of the Jellybean update and proceeded to download it.. Everything was going fine when it came down to installation, but all of a sudden the phone went black and will not turn back on. It had a full charge on it,so Idk whats the problem.. Any suggestions ???

Let me guess: You were rooted and had superCID?

the whole process took awhile for me, felt like it rebooted a few times also. about 20 minutes i think, you could of got in a hurry during the process and messed it up. does the phone detect? maybe u can reruu?

Have you tried holding the power button down for a while (like 30 secs)? You can't get into bootloader via power+vol down? What happens when you plug into your computer? What do you see in Device Manager?
Bricks on stock phones from borked otas are not common, but they do happen. If so, AT&T is good about replacements.

If the charge LED does not come on when charging (use the wall charger, not USB), and the screen doesn't come on at all after charging overnight, the phone is probably not recoverable.
As iElvis mentioned, bricks caused be the OTA aren't common, but they do happen. For one thing, the OTA flashes a new hboot. So if something goes wrong during that process, it may brick the phone. If you are bone stock, its the fault of the update, so AT&T will replace it.

The LED does not come on, believe me I have tried keeping it on the charger all night, with no success.

I tried this, and nothing happened.. I will head to my nearest AT&T store soon to get a replacement hopefully.. I guess its not all bad though, I have been enjoying my Lumia 920 with Windows phone 8, but I am missing my Android!

Did you have SuperCID? S-on?
The OP is talking about updating via OTA, which is known to brick your phone if you have SuperCID and S-on. But I was wondering what would happen with the RUU, which was just posted by HTC a couple days ago.

[Q] Did the JB ATT RUU brick my phone?

Starting with where I am now: my ATT One X is totally unresponsive. Power button held, Power plus either of the volume buttons held, nothing produces any response. When I plug it into a wall adapter, the charging LED doesn't light up. It is both looking and talking like a brick.
Here's how I got here, and I'm hoping someone may have some kind of suggestion .
I had been running Tachi91's original Sense JB ROM. TWRP recovery. I used the AT&T JB update RUU from HTC's site.
Before doing this, I rebooted to bootloader and re-locked the bootloader. After this, I seemed to be unable to reboot back into system, so I just ran the RUU while the phone was sitting in the bootloader (figuring that the first thing the RUU seems to have done in the past is reboot to the bootloader).
The RUU went through its usual lengthy, multi-reboot thing. No errors whatsoever, everything seemed totally fine. Clicked "Finish" at the end...and my phone's screen went black. I figured it was rebooting, but unless it's taken the past 40 minutes to reboot (which seems unlikely! ), something is obviously amiss. See beginning of post for what I've tried since and results.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Phone dead!

Hey guys, need your help! I updated my AT&T One X using this manual method:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=464&p_name=htc-one-x-att
And now my phone is not even turning on. Its completely dead. Can't go into download mode or recovery mode! Volumes keys and power key not working. Please help!
Thanks ahead!

Was the phone completely stock, or was it previously SuperCID, rooted, etc?

No, I had rooted it previously and then unrooted it back because I couldn't go into the recovery mode then. Yes I was on stock!

If your phone is the AT&T version and you were rooted, you must have had SuperCID.
SuperCID + 3.18 RUU = brick (unless you are also s-off).
Sorry to say, you are now bricked. You missed my warning at the top of the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929
Your best bet know is to find a repair shop that can JTAG the phone.

Why in the world would anyone who wants a rooted phone do an ota or ruu to a unrootable firmware? Patience us a virtue even with a phone.... Wait a day or two, read and read more.. then decide, easier than "woops I upgraded and now help me" threads like this entertain me, sorry but true

Plug your phone into your computer and see what comes up in Device Manager. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, you're bricked. The JET tool might help you, otherwise it's jtag.

I have tried connecting it to my PC and it says QHUSB_DLOAD in the device manager, what do I do? Can I fix it all on my own?

Sorry my friend but you're bricked. Sounds like you'll need a jtag repair to me.
