Recovery problems + simlock - HTC Sensation

Hello folks!
So, I got this HTC Sensation today which comes with ARHD v6.8.0.0. The phone came from UK and I'm in Portugal (if that makes any difference on this). The problem is that when I put my SIM card it says that the phone is locked. Ok, so I searched here ways to unlock it, but there is a problem. When I get into the bootloader I am not able to choose the recovery option, for some reason. I press volume down and it doesn't work. Not even, volume up or even the power button. It stays like the picture below and I need to take the battery off. Any ideas on how I can solve this? Plus, the phone is S-OFF, so shouldn't it be like simunlocked already?

Try again without the sdcard in pal. Assuming that solves your issue then look for the sim unlock thread but use a different sdcard.

I tried without the sdcard and surpsingly it worked. But then I tried with another 2 sdcards I have and it still doesn't work...

It all depends on the sdcard tbh. Sounds odd but the more offical the better. Sometimes the bootloader won't register the sdcard unless it can read the cid of it, or the bootloader will loop waiting for it to load :-\ I've used official sandisk sdcards all the time and some work and others fail :-\ have you tried fresh formatts?

I have 2 sandisks and another one unbranded I guess. Format through PC? I can boot into recovery if I use ROM Manager but I can't get back into bootloader, it always get stuck in there...

Aye the PC should suffice. Also if you have your adb set up you can use adb reboot recovery .
I've also found that some phones just take there sweet time about reading the sdcard in hboot. Just give like 3 minutes and if it shows no signs of searching the sdcard then the sdcard is not good for the bootloader :-\
Tapped out from my sexy nexus 7

So the problem is the sdcard? WIth all the 3 sdcards, none of them will work? But I know, that the previous owner could go into bootloader and it worked nice. I don't see what's the problem here...
I'm trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Is there any way to unlock the simcard without going into bootloader? Is that, I really wanna use the phone, otherwise it's gonna be useless...

The sdcards are fine enough for use with everything else bar the bootloader :-\ but that is the correct guide have you tried step one? And are you trying to put the sdcards in with the pg58img.zip / .nbh on it already? As you could try that and see how you get on, and then anytime you need to go to the recovery from bootloader then just take out the sdcard?

I did try step one mate, but I can't use it. And I did try to go on bootloader with the file on the sdcard... I don't know what else to do.

Hmm. What sizes are the sdcard? Also are you on ics firmware?

sdcards are 8GB each. How can check the firmware?

So, I updated to last firmware (3.33) and now I can get into bootloader but once I get there it starts loading for the PG58DIAG.zip but I don't have any file there with that name. Phone boots up normally tho, it's not in bootloop. I changed to SuperCID too and can't use my SIM card yet. Any ideas?

You need to drop to ginger bread firmware for the file to work. Also if you have the pg58diag.nbh you can simply zip the file with no compression and place it in the root of your sdcard. But make sure to name it PG58DIAG.zip in caps as that seems to help. And if you can see if you can get access to a 2gb sandisk to test with

Do I need to flash a GB firmware now? I tried what you say mate but it doesn't work... It gets stuck on bootloader saying SD Checking... Loading... [PG58DIAG.zip] and nothing happens. I'm starting to lose my mind

It stays like this...

So, I can't get out of there...no matter how much I try, it never finds the goddamn file. Any ideas??

The user solved his issue in the end by buying a unlock code after a downgrade to gingerbread firmware and the bootloader would not register the diag file.

Sorry for not updating, but that is correct. I got an unlock code and it worked. Flashed back to firmware 3.33 and ARHD 6.8.0.0 and all is working fine. But if I go on bootloader it still says that, it still tries to load that file even though I don't have any kind of those files on sdcard... Weird?

Help! I think my Mytouch 4G is bricked!!! ​
i have seen a LOT of these threads lately, and this thread is made to hopefully be able solve some of your problems.
most people think that a brick means "can't get into android system, phone is dead beyond repair." most of the time, this is NOT true.
Disclaimer: Please make sure you know what you are doing before proceeding. if your device wasn't bricked before but you somehow screwed it up, i will not be responsible. YOU are responsible for whatever happens to your device. i am just here to give you a few tips, and to help you out. once again, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING BEFORE DOING IT!
Needed Things:
-computer
-android SDK, ADB. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO INSTALL AND LEARN TO USE ADB, IT COULD SAVE YOUR DEVICE BIG TIME. we have plenty of guides on how to use adb, please search them up and READ THROUGH THEM.
-a Mytouch 4G, or HTC Panache
-USB cable
-SDcard (doesn't matter what size)
ask and answer these two questions to yourself:
1) can you enter bootloader?
2) can you enter recovery?
if you've answered yes to any one of them, then chances are, you are still saved.
Note: if you can't enter either one of those, and your device doesn't show any signs of life, then don't bother reading on, you are truly bricked.
Notice: When you try flashing the PD15IMG.zip in bootloader, make sure the phone is NOT connected to the computer.
For S-On users:
Q: help! my phone is stuck on the Mytouch logo screen!
A: pull the battery, and see if you can get into the bootloader using volume down+power buttons
if you can get into the bootloader:
1) see if you can wipe data/do a factory reset in bootloader.
2) flash the stock Glacier PD15IMG.zip file choose from either
Android 2.2.1 OR Android 2.3.4
rename both files to PD15IMG.zip if not already.
-put both files in the ROOT of your SDcard, reboot into bootloader/hboot, and follow the onscreen instructions
note: if you are still unclear on what to do, read the "HOW TO RESTORE TO STOCK" section
Q: bootloader is giving me Fail-PU errors when trying to update
A: refer to the eMMC section
For S-Off Rooted users:
rooted S-Off devices are a bit more complicated.
Q: help! i can't get into the android system, phone stuck on Mytouch logo!
A: like for S-On users, see if you can get into either the bootloader, but also the recovery (usually clockworkmod).
if you can get into either of those, wipe data/factory reset, and reboot.
Q: bootloader factory reset, still stuck on Mytouch screen
A: well, if you have clockworkmod recovery (or 4EXT recovery) get into the recovery, wipe all user data/cache/dalvik cache and try reflashing a backup, or flash a new rom.
Q: reflashing didn't work, clockworkmod is giving me errors about mounting something.
A: new way! try to clear cache and dalvik in recovery, somtimes that works. thanks to urmothersluvr for reminding me.
A: there are two things that cause this. both have VERY similar symptoms. the first is because of the failed eMMC chip (refer to eMMC chip section), and the second is because the recovery got messed up, probably because you've been switching between a lot of EXT3 and EXT4 roms. if this is the case, just download the PD15IMG.zip (Android 2.2.1) file (IT WILL RETURN YOU TO STOCK) and start over again. OR you can reflash the recovery through adb (MUST HAVE ENG HBOOT 0.85.2007). thanks to Nicgraner for reminding me! if bootloader gives Fail-PU errors, refer to eMMC section.
HOW TO RESTORE TO STOCK​
here are clear instructions on how to flash to stock using the PD15IMG.zip file:
1) download the PD15IMG.zip file:
Android 2.2.1 Android 2.3.4
2) rename the file to PD15IMG.zip if not already
3) place the file in the root of your SDcard, meaning not in any folders
4) power off your device, and reboot into hboot/bootloader by press and holding power + volume down buttons
5) hboot/bootloader should recognize the file, and ask if you want to update
6) select "yes", and wait for the update to finish
*Selections are made with the volume buttons, and hit the power button to select*
7) when the update is finished, hit reboot
8) wait for the device to boot up (may take awhile, first time boot only)
9) congrats, you are now back to stock Mytouch 4G, either 2.2.1, or 2.3.4

if you think you have a failed eMMC...
many things can cause the eMMC to die. if you suspect that your eMMC chip has died, please check your eMMC serial using this guide here using adb (for rooted users only, since you must be in recovery for the command to work).
symptoms of failed eMMC:
-massive lagging all of the sudden in android system
-phone suddenly shut down, and you can't turn it on, no matter what you do (if this happens, then yes, you're bricked)
-recovery showing errors about not being able to mount things
-BOOTLOADER SHOWING FAIL-PU WHEN TRYING TO RESTORE BACK TO STOCK USING PD15IMG.ZIP, IF THIS HAPPENS, THEN YES, THAT MEANS YOU ARE TRULY BRICKED. FAIL-PU MEANS FAILED PARTITION UPDATE, MEANING THAT YOU CANNOT WRITE TO THE PHONE/EMMC CHIP ANYMORE.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, so my chip has died and i can't turn my phone on. can i send it in to t-mobile to replace it?
A: yes! BUT YOU MUST STILL HAVE YOUR WARRANTY WITH T-MOBILE. if you are S-On, you should have absolutely NO problems replacing at all. if you are S-Off, you might encounter some minor problems, but replacing should still be ok. what i did was play dumb with them, and they just sent me a new one. my old one died of bad eMMC, it was rooted, S-off and everything, even the splash screen said "rooted HTC Glacier" on it.
hopefully, this guide has helped you understand more of what has just happened to your beloved Glacier (MT4G).
if i forgot anything, or if you have anything to add to this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW
if i have helped, please hit thanks!
for the corrupted recovery you don't necessarily need to flash pd15img..you could boot into bootloader then fastboot and reflash the recovery img of your choice. Although some may not know how to.. just a thought
EDIT: Forgot to explain why lol, flashing pd15img will make you lose root whereas just pushing the new recovery will not!
Don't mean to be trollin, just some advice haha

If it fails can I still use my phone I'm on? I know my cache won't mount
Edit: fixed it by formatting cache and rebooting recovery. U should add that up there for cache not mounting.

I'm trying to load the pd15img.zip. I have a completely stock phone and for some reason it got stuck on the bootup screen so I'm trying to flash it to fix it.
However after I enter the bootloader and it finds the file, loads it and then checks it, it just returns to the bootloader screen. It never asks me to flash it.
Does anyone have a solution??
Exact same issue as mupepe. Does this mean the phone isn't saveable?

is your phone connected to the computer? just wondering.
also, might be a bad download, try downloading again.....
It is not connected to the PC when flashing. I'll try redownloading the IMG. I get a "Wrong or bad image" thing in Hboot. Formatted SD card to fat 32 and tried a different card. This is a weird issue. I warrantied out the phone but TMO sent me a replacement with the washed out screen so I'd love to fix this.
Mine isn't connected to the computer. I get no sort of error. I'll redownload the image in a bit and report back. Thanks!
thanks a lot
Anyone have luck fixing the No Image or Wrong Image problem or the IMG file just checking loading then doing nothing?

Problems
I bought a MyTouch 4G from Craigslist today (for $ 80, it has the superior screen, is cosmetically a 9.5/10 and it came with all accessories) and it is stuck at the MyTouch 4G screen. One of the local phone places told the seller that the phone needed to be flashed which I tried to do. I downloaded the file in this thread for 2.3.4, put it on the freshly FAT32 formatted MicroSD card, I booted into the bootloader, it found the PD15IMG.zip file, it loaded and checked it and went into the screen with the two green arrows and the one green arrow pointing downwards. Then every time in the middle of it, the phone turns itself off (battery is fully charged). It never asked if I wanted to update either. What could be the problem?

...lol i'm starting to think the link to the 2.3.4 PD15IMG.zip is wrong..
sorry guys if it is...
hmm have you tried to use the 2.2.1 instead?
I bought two MyTouch 4G's from the same seller (a couple) and his phone works fine, only hers is corky LOL. Both HBOOT screens are identical too, I checked his software version and it is the latest one (2.32.531.1), so I assume that hers is the same, it also shows the same date, July 15 2011 and the same radio 26.13.04.19_M in HBOOT. Maybe there is no PD15IMG.zip file for this latest updated ROM yet? After trying both different PD15IMG.zip files (2.3.4 and 2.2.1), I've been getting the "main version is older" errors on both. No Fail-PU though, so that makes me hopeful I'm thinking that she updated to the latest version and somehow it got corrupted, that is why the phone is stuck at the MyTouch 4G loading screen and won't go any further.
Update: I'm up and running again !! I found a PD15IMG.zip file on the t-mobile support website that worked specifically for the latest 2.32.531.1 update !! Here is the download link (I've uploaded it to megaupload): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X1EAIPBJ

It was initially stock on a different menu with the volume bottons inactive, i could only enter hboot, i downloaded a PD98IMG but it wasn't the right version for my hard ware but atleast it got me to the boot loader menu with the volume bottons working.

Apparently not. His bootloader is S-ON and doesn't display 'unlocked' like it would if he used HTCdev. I guess he was running fully stock. Don't know what could be the cause of his problem, but I think flashing an RUU should be enough to fix it, no?

If the file is correctly named PD98IMG.zip, it is located in the root of your sdcard and you get that message, then your sdcard might be corrupted...try using a different one.
Rather than the PD98IMG.zip method, use an RUU exe file (2 links below, whichever works). Connect your phone to PC in bootloader mode, then run the exe and wait till it's fully finished.

He is linking an .exe file. You need to boot in hboot, plug the phone and choose fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red). From there you run the .exe file and everything should be working fine.
EDIT: Make sure that you install the drivers with the phone unplugged.

Nop, any idea how to format this phone with official ROM ? because i think the current ROM got problem.
Not sure it will work or not

Thank you for the reply. I did that before. The problem still the same.
I'm pretty sure for that, it's because the device i just brought it few days.
Have you tried downloading the ruu you need and trying that? I've had to ruu back to stock a couple times....doesn't hurt to try.

Actually i not really know how to do. Can you provide me a link for RUU?an official ROM link for me to download perhaps.
I did try to ask the repairing shop, they not dare to help me to reformat, the reason is, they say my phone originate from Hong Kong and i currently now in Malaysia.They do not want to take the risk. I'm so Helpless =(
Before you do any more flashing of anything, go back to the bootloader (pull battery, then power button + volume down) and post here EXACTLY what you see on the screen. If possible just take a picture of the screen.
It makes me nervous that you got your phone from Hong Kong and then an update didn't work. There are a lot of fake Sensations coming out of China. They look like the real ones, but the hardware is different and firmware/roms/radios made for the Sensation won't work on them.
If you have a fake one, trying to flash an RRU on it will deffiantely kill it and kill it badly.

Yeah that looks all legit.
I didn't mean to scare you. But that's been happening lately where someone buys a knock off, tries to install Sensation software, and bricks the phone.
To fix your problem you may have to use ADB to install a custom recovery. Or you should be able to do it using a PM58IMG file. I'm pretty sure there's a PM58IMG file for flashing 4EXT in the 4EXT thread in the dev section. Just put the file on your SD card (using a computer, obviously since the phone doesn't work) boot into bootloader, and let it run. You should then have 4EXT
You can also upgrade the firmware the same way if you want to get ICS or Jelly Bean.
I think your problem is a lot more fixable than it seems. So don't stress. You should have this up and running oon.

Sensation not turning on

So I just got my Sensation today(unlocked, Bell version z710a) and followed this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861) up to step 4A. The problem is, I forgot to enable smartflash(step 3A) before flashing the rom(same rom attached in step 4A). Now my phone won't boot up and I keep getting a message saying, "touch input stopped"(included pics of what it looks like).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this message keeps popping up. Sometimes I'll remove the battery and turn it back on and this will come up:
And I will be able to go through the normal setup with the message popping up every 2 seconds. But as soon as I press "finish" after going through the setup, the phone will still not boot up properly and get stuck on either the htc logo or a blank screen.
I would truly appreciate any help, I've tried wiping data and rebooting as well, and I have no idea what to do now. Thanks!

did you not forget to flashing boot.img too after installing the new rom with manual flashing.. after you know it's that you already forgot to enabled smartflash form 4ext recovery..?
Go to recovery ( remove battery , insert battery , hold volume down and power button )
Wipe data cache ,
Enable smart flash and flash Rom again

I've tried that as well, but get no results. I also tried relocking bootloader and unlocking again, but i still end up and the lockscreen and go through setup wizard, only to end up stuck at the htc logo.
I tried doing RUU also, but I have a Bell Sensation, which is 3.32.666.13, and there isn't an ruu file available for that.
Any other ideas?

Ok, I tried wiping data and enabling smartflash, then reflashing the rom, but now when i try to boot it up, it won't go past the white screen with the htc logo, no quietly brilliant coming up.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me! At this moment, my phone will not boot up past the white screen with the htc logo(no quietly brilliant coming up) and I am getting very desperate. I wiped everything that I possibly could in recovery, reflashed the rom after enabling smartflash, and my result is being stuck on the same htc screen. Am I bricked beyond repair? I am seriously getting very scared now. Anyways thanks for helping, any other ideas are welcome.

Problem was, I forget to enable smart flash before flashing(step 3A), so I followed extra step 1 in that same thread, which is flashing boot.img, but that didn't work either.

Both options do the same.
Wiped data and internal storage. This will not touch external SD though.

Go back to factory
How do you return to complete factory stock? I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader. I was running ViperOne, but I ran the RUU from the SD Card and and now on stock, but still rooted and unlocked. I am trying to do a warranty replacement. I found instructions to re-lock, but how do I unroot and remove SuperSU?
Are there any additional steps I should take?

Firmware Update
I tried to update my firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 using the Option 2 (App/EXE) method and the phone had a black screen with HTC in white to black fading colors. The pc said updating and sending. I waited for almost an hour and nothing showed to be happening. I disconnected the phone from the pc and aborted the operation. So I then tried to do Option 1. I put the zip file on my external SD card. I tried to flash it with Flashify but it didn't work. I then went in to TWRP to install it and now I'm stuck on the white screen with the green htc lettering. Phone doesn't do any thing when pressing volume down and power or volume and up and power. Is my phone now a paperweight? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

An ruu is not flashable via flashify or twrp. No where in the instructions does it say that. In fact, you really shouldn't be attempting flashes like that with partition based zips period. You could brick your phone.
Try the exe again. It likely never sent because your pc didn't install the correct driver for the phone when you entered fastboot.

As I mentioned, my phone is stuck on the white screen with the green htc lettering. I was able to finally power it down. Upon powering it on it goes back to the white screen with green htc lettering. If I enter recovery, it goes in to TWRP but I cannot do anything there. I tried to run the EXE option again but now my pc won't even recognize the phone. The phone is still stuck on the white screen with the green htc.

You will not lose s off. That will remain in tact unles you s on yourself via adb
