My HTC Sensation started making trouble. It's S-off and has Revolution Rom but lately I only get pixel-snow on my screen. I tried to replace the screen but I still get snow (appears from the moment I restart the device). Last time it happened I reinstalled the rom and it solved the problem for a week.
I want to try and install a stock rom from the PC directly on the device. Is it possible and what do I need to do.
Thanks a lot

you can flash a stock RUU through your computer, this will replace every thing on your phone. you will loose your root and custome recovery but you will retain your S-Off status. you need to choose the appropriate RUU based on your CID. you can find a lot of RUU here in this link

boot your device into bootloader
connect it to pc via usb(it should say fastboot usb in the bootloader screen)
from pc navigate to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window there
do the command
fastboot getvar cid
read the information here in this guide (link below) to know how to find your cid, and how to flash the RUU properly.

I've installed the sdk and now when i connect to device to the computer it's not recognized at all. Due to the fact that i cannot see what's written on my screen (pixel snow storm...) I don't know if it's saying "fast-boot usb" in the boot-loader screen or even is i'm at boot-loader screen at all.
The pc doesnt recognize the devide so i cannot navigate to the folder with adb or check for CID....
Does anyone here knows the reason for the pixel-snow screen? It's not a lcd problem (I replaced it and it didn't change a thing), no one had this problem before? I know people had it before and usually they solve it by replacing the device (cause they have warranty...).

O.k I'll try to find where to get the drivers (help would be greatly appreciated).
One more problem I've encountered is that I cn't go to bootloader by Holding Vol down + Power button, The device just doesn't respond or it just runs in normal mode (power on).
btw - the link you've given me told me i need the htc sync for the drivers:
Step 3. Download HTC Sync Download Page Here
Now we have our SDK setup we are close to having our phone ready for ADB.
Download HTC Sync (It is a rather large file 148MB)
This will give us our Drivers for our Sensation.
Once downloaded run the .exe file and follow the on screen instructions.

i don't remember exactly the steps
but i think you open device manager from pc navigate to drivers and select update or something like that
by the way if you can't enter into bootloader or can't boot it normally or the led doesn't show red while charging
then your device might got bricked
try charging the device without battery,sim and sdcard for 5-6 hours
put them and try boot the device normally
if it won't boot then it is bricked

The device in not bricked for sure, I can restart it and get all the way to the Ring and also to the maid screen where I can press power-off and turn the device off buy touching the right locations on the screen (From memory...can't see the screen).
In device manager there is no such a general option to add or update drivers, one must choose the device for the update...don't know which one.
I think the problem is with the Quick restart, or something like that, that prevents me from going to recovery mode. The problem is that I don't know how to get to that location and change it cause I cannot see my screen. I need screen shots of revolution 6.80 to get to that point...
Is there any way to see my device's screen on the computer? what would help.

I've read all the tutorial threads and none seemed to work for me. I have a HTC Sensation, on stock ROM, Android 4.0.3 and software number (3.33.401.53 i suppose that is the firmware version). I tried to get it S-OFF, but that paperclip trick doesn't work for me, cause it goes to fastboot and after that command prompt hangs on Test 2. I tried using Hasoon2000 tutorial to install recovery, it hangs on sending recovery for hours. I used htcdev to unlock bootloader and it says **UNLOCKED**, but i can't move from there. I tried PermRoot from Hasoon's tool, still no luck. Can anyone help me????

since your bootloader is unlocked, probably you are able to upgrade it. I DO NOT PLEDGE IT THOUGH. but i suggest give it a try. http://www.mediafire.com/?1ed2y87pld66638 download that file and put it in root of your SD card then boot into bootloader, it'll ask for update, accept by pressing vol up.

Morning,
Currently using CWM Recovery
Flashed Hypernonsense a few days ago with no issues, found I couldnt access the wifi hotspot option as it kept crashing settings, no worry I shall flash another ROM.
ROM installs fine, CWM is happy, reboot phone, passes HTC screen then sticks on the ROM logo screen, eg Cyanogen rotating ring. This has occurred on 3 roms I have tried, JB and ICS based. Luckily I have the backup from my original ROM so I can still use my phone.
Any ideas as to the stickiness?
Thanks
Did you clear the cache and data before installing the new rom? If you haven't, try that.

Or if you happen to have a Win 7 - 64 bit, try on a 32 bits machine. My Sensation doesn't respond in fastboot USB on my 64bit machine (my asus TF300T does, so it's HTC driver related but unsolvable for me), but it has no problems on my 32bit netbook.
As to why it won't show the bootloader screen, I'm puzzled. Maybe check if your volume-down isn't blocked by something since you opened it?

Been there and done that, but no luck. I tried several drivers, from 64bit HTC Sync ones to Generic 32-bits, it doesn't seem to make any difference for me. Even the sync didn't always 'see' my phone. On my netbook (32-bits) it has no problems whatsoever. So I've given up on it. Perhaps Win 8 is better? Anyway it's getting a bit off-topic. It's not a problem for me, but I merely offered it as a suggestion that it could be a similar cause.

I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
Any advice regarding a remedy would be much appreciated.

When p hone is on you'll have to power it off manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then you should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power) No matter if you have flashed a wrong kernel.

Thanks for the advice on how to enter the bootloader. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using your method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far.
I'm to the point where I'd love to send the phone to someone who could RUU it and send it back.

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2094414
But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?
Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid.
Also, while the RUU program recongizes that I have my phone attached, the Hasson utility does not, nor does my computer.

Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.
I flashed the stock recovery and tried to use 4 different RUUs, but no luck.

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU
And if your CID is Optus001 and you're S-ON you can't use T-Mobile RUUs (T-MOB010)

I got my phone back! Thanks for the help. Your advice was spot on. What a terrific community of people. I hope that others will be able to follow this thread and fix similar issues.

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot;

How did you enter the fast boot?
I was playing with System Files because of the low mic volume problem, rebooted and since then the phone does exactly like yours: 20sec of "this build is for development purposes only" then it switches off.
All button-combinations tried.
The PC in Printer and Devices sees it as an Android Phone, Device Manager sees a HTC MTP Device, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer.
Adb do not see any connected device.
I guess I have to change the motherboard.
I tried to turn on my phone and it goes straight to the bootloader. Its not in a boot loop. but in the bootloader (*** unlocked ***) at the top. Choosing factory reset and recovery only brings me back to the bootloader. Fastboot doesn't recognize the USB. Need help.

if you don't care about your data, just run the RUU.exe for you device, but make sure you install the drivers from HTC first.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? Can you use fastboot?

fastboot says "fastboot usb" but Adb devices and fastboot devices show nothing. whats happening is that even if i choose to power down in the fastboot menu on the phone, it will boot back up on its own, into the bootloader. I am able to boot to the OS if i am lucky by hard powering off (holding the power button), then letting go of the power button, and at a precise moment pressing the power button.
I've had the same problem, what i did was put my pc a few weeks back using recovery points. Then i was able to use fastboot again. After that flash a stock boot.img trough fastboot. My phone started up again.
