[Q] Bricked Sensation

Hi, I want to buy bricked sensation and repair it.
The guy says, he put rom on S-ON 1.27 and you can just go to bootloader or look at htc logo. I tought, I will just re-stock it with .img from bootloader. But he says that its need RiffBox... Thanks for answers.

I think
If you enter in bootloader then it's not bricked
Get more info from him, like HTC dev unlocked or not , custom recovery etc and post here then someone will help u .
And if possible I will help u

He just said to me that "I tried to flash rom on locked phone" From the photo i saw S-ON and he wrote that he have 1.27 Hboot. Now he wrote me "I bought it working, but then I tried it update trough wifi, but the phone stuck and dont bootup back. I tried some tutorials on internet, but nothing worked. So I think last option is RiffBox"

Hey I can't c texts clearly in that photo ,

If mobile is stuck in bootloader , this can b back on working condition without riffbox

i can't help you more
if you can ask him if he has unlocked bootloader and inform us

Edit nevermind, I didn't read the rest of the thread before answering the OP (rookie error )

Yeah, the glass is broken, but I'll get new and change it.

Damn, he dont want to say me about locked or unlocked. Will it somehow affect my decision to by it?

ok then if you decide to buy it you have to follow this guide for S-ON
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 or
if you want to S-OFF you can follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
in any case you can flash roms

Im going for it in about a hour. Thank you guystso much.

So i bought it, its Unlocked S-On 1.27 with 4EXT recovery (1.0.0.5) But every time i flash something(from the s-on tutorial) it's just stuck at HTC logo, just HTC no quietly brilliant....

don't be afraid.it's ok
you have 2 options:
1)do extra 1 from the S-ON guide or
2)enable smartflash from recovery and flash the rom again

Stuck on white screen

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.

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

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

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

to be honast I would rather a working phone than one with warrenty especially since its not worth the paper its written on

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.

Well then you could really just use the guide mentioned here.
But As long as a user is in the LOCKED state he should try to remain there...

[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.

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...

[Solved] HTC keeps rebooting after while using ControlBear

I've got HBOOT 1.27.0000 so I had no choice but to use the ControlBear method.
The virtual Machine doesn't work on my computer, so I was forced to search for the windows files.
I couldn't find any for the HTC Sensation, but I found one for the Evo 3d.(I have less than 10 posts, so I can't give you guys the link.)
So you can guess what I did. I downloaded the linux files for my HTC Sensation from unlimited.IO site.
And I also downloaded the files for the Evo3D.
Then I extracted both of them.
I replaced the jb_boot.img file and ControlBear.exe. (Not jb_boot.zip) Without the jb_boot.img ControlBear gives an error.
After that I conected my phone, ran ControlBear.exe.
It found my device and did its job(not really), and my phone had to restart. But it keeps on restarting.
All what ControlBear says is trying to reconnect to my phone.
I didn't come to the point where I have to do the "Wire-Trick". The ControlBear logo didn't even show up on my HTC.
I still can launch the menu when I hold the Volume Down+ Power button.
It's not S-Off though, but that was to be expected.
Additional Information:
My HTC Sensation is S-On.
Usb Debugging settings is enabled.
I used the temp-root.batch (it worked)
I did the bootloader thing.
I already turned once my HTC Sensation S-Off, but then with the revolutionary tool.
I had to turn S-On because of the warranty (that also worked).
Sorry for this mistake guys, I know it's stupid.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you help me.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
I've fixed it now!
I want to thank you all for your help and contribution, each one of you!
After 4 days i can fineally enjoy my HTC Sensation.

Yes I guess RUU needs to be done

Wich RUU would you suggest?
The stock one?
I think I already have the stock RUU.
My CID is VODAPE17, and my MID is PG5813000.
version-main: 3.32.162.52

find the 3.32.162.52 RUU and flash it. Then attempt again using the linux version from the official site. The windows version was taken down for a reason

A little off topic; but why was the windows one taken down?
Worked perfectly for me. :/
Btw I do have windows one (Beta 0.6) for Sensation if OP still needs it.. I can PM..

I can't find that one.
Is this one fine too? RUU Pyramid Vodafone DE 1.27.162.1.zip
I have to download it from Rapidshare, and it takes... 1 day...
or this one: RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.exe
Or this one:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe
Though my HTC isn't Pyramid ISC?
EDIT:
When I try to install the RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.
it says that the utility can't update the android phone. Get the right RUU and try again?
RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.27.163.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191976_signed and RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed don't work either...

Why is HTC doing this...
It still isn't working...

Ouch, i just used the KGS utility tool to do this on hboot 1.29, worked on first try...
pyramid==htc sensation, ICS==ice cream sandwich (android 4.xx) which by your firmware, you're probably on

I have hboot 1.27 though.
And it still isn't working...

Pm me for controlbear
I have the correct control bear for the sensation for windows, pm me and i will send the file to you.

Well I've fixed the RUU problem, by relocking my HTC again.
I had to type fastboot oem lock.
So i've installed this RUU:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed

My HTC booted nice and worked again.
I've UNLOCKED my HTC with the Unlock_Code.bin from HTCdev(my own code)>
I've used temp-root, and ran ControlBear.exe ( THIS time I got the right one, from a known contributor on this forum)
It made a back-up etc.
But here's the problem again..
After it found his fourth bear my HTC restarted.
After that, it is stuck in a boot loop again...
I've unplugged my phone and plugged back it, but it's still in a boot loop.
I've relocked my HTC, and I'm installing the RUU again..
Any help guys?
I'm kinda getting desperate...

what version of controlbear do you have?
the that requires htcdev unlock or the nohtcdev one?

Google kgs utility sensation, you still need the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip zip unless you plan to go HTC dev route but there's both option in the utility(u choose) phone will reboot many times during this, just let it, it's not a 2 minute process, more like 15 or 20minutes

So you're saying that I should unlock my HTC but not with the HTC DEV thing?
Or is my phone not requiered to be UNLOCKED for ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip
Or do I just have to let my phone reboot for 10-15 minutes, with USB plugged on?

if your bootloader is unlocked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN
if your bootloader is locked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip

I've unlocked my bootloade already with the Unlock_Code.bin from htc.
I've used ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN.
Like I said, my HTC gets stuck in a boot loop
