[Q] Htc sensation xe with beats audio in a boot loop - HTC Sensation

Before you say anything i just want to state that i have been on my computer for over 4 hours trying to fix this issue but nothing seems to work. I have had my phone for a while now and while im not a complete noob at the tech with it i wouldnt say i have a very strong understanding either. So the phone was given to me by a friend, already rooted and i have had no promblems with it but today i tried to flash cyanogenmod(?) and well alot of things happened.
At first when i finished it just kept resetting so i did a bit of researched and i updated the firmware(without supercid) note that i only know that i was meant to use supercid after my phone went into a boot loop
So anyways long story short i cant use supercid because my phone is in a continous boot loop and it doesnt get recognised as a usb thingo when i plug it in so i cant do those commands i need to do for supercid
so urgent help is needed !!!

reading your post i assume you are S-OFF
what recovery do you have?
try 4ext recovery if you don't have it and reflash the rom

Hi,
Which firmware did you flash?
Supercid is not a necessity.
Use Kohr-Ah's Universal firmware ,and your CID should be incorporated in it.
If not,you can write it into the info.txt

i flashed the 3.3 universal then when everything went bad i tried to flash stock rom 3.33 or something :s

Hi,
OK.
Try to install the 3.32 Universal firmware,and see if that upgrades your radio.
Post back here with what your bootloader says after you tried it.

Hi,
Glad it worked.
Your radio is now good.
Place a Rom on the root of your sd card,go into recovery,wipe the phone clean.
If you have 4 EXT ,then,format all partitions except sd card.
Install ROM.

while entering recovery it boot looped...weird ...it seems like something got corrupted in /recovery partition
try this
extract the boot.img (choose it from the kernel of your liking) from ARHD zip and flash it via fastboot
command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot and see..if that didnt worked
then probably you need to format all the partitions again and see..
to do that you need to run RUU (you'll lose your data this way)
i assume you are supercid (as you are SOFF)
so get any ICS RUU ...
keep your phone in fastboot and run the RUU from your pc
(it will do a clean install of stock ICS but wont change your SOFF status..so you can install ARHD again)
hopefully this will solve the problem

Oi you have old firmware .i Think it came after running the RUU otherwise It won't be compatible with ics roms.. You need to flash the 3.32 firmware again.. Check the ARHD thread OP for the 3.32 firmware
Also if you already tried the above and still not working
Then flash a ics RUU .. after flashing RUU.. Try to enter the stock recovery (once you enter you need to press all three hard buttons to get options)
If it still bootloops during entering recovery means.. You might have bad blocks in the internal memory.. Which is a hardware issue
Confirm/try the above.. In the mean time I'll try to dig further

htc sensation 4g unroot

How do I unroot my sensation 4g? I have the RUU but its an exe. when i double click it my computer says it cant open it, it goes online to find another software that can open it but it doesnt find anything. Can someone help me please?
Download another, that one is borked.
where can I download another one? they seem so hard to find.
You can find a guide to RUUs here: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
Also, just add ".exe" (without quotes) to the end of the filename of the file you downloaded to get it working.
I got the RUU but now its saying it failed "please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again" what do I do now?

[Q] SIM-Unlock my Sensation and flash with Kitkat

I have manage to make my Sensation S-OFF but I have some problem to install Kitkat. It got stuck on the boot logo or loop boot. But that's not my biggest issue right now, I'm trying to get the phone simunlocked. I have tried the PG58DIAG.nbh file on boot but I only get Security fail! Update fail.
Do I have to downgrade the HBOOT to make the PG58DIAG to work?
I have spent alot of time to come this far with Unlocked S-OFF and SU. My brain feels like a mess. I hope someone can explain how I will do to get the phone sim unlocked and maybe explain why KitKat won't work on my phone (tried CM11 and Carbon- CM11-stuck on logo, Carbon-boot loop)

I don't use AOSP roms as I am Sense lover. However, as I can see most problems with KK roms flashing come because of recovery, cause, as I understood, KK neads some metadata bu****t that can only be achieved with TWRP.
If I'm right it won't be bad if someone could point that to everybody willing to test KK builds.
Thanks for your answers :good:
I managed to get my sensation sim unlocked. I changed my Super CID and used the PH58DIAG file without any problem.
Do I have to change back to my old cid or can I use 11111111 without any problems?
I will try some older ROMs and see... or I will try the TWRP and see if it helps
I'll be back

[Q] Return to Stock Rom

I havent done this in a while, so sorry for being confused. I think I messed up the custom rom (ICS) I had on my sensation and not sure how to get it properly functioning again. I formated the sd-card and after that the phone firmware seemed to change, possibly reverted to another version or something? Any idea on how I can restore the phone back to Stock Rom or another functioning Custom Rom? I tried the ABD method but the fone isnt recodnized by cmd...

What recovery do you have? Did you try to reflash the rom that you have, or to flash another rom, and did you have installed HTC driver( if you use windows 8 or 8.1 you may like others some connectivity issue)
Btw i don't think that you can change anything with just formathing sd card
