Where i came from
Yesterday :
Update Firmaware last 3.24 on the forum with no superCID,
Flash the "Blitz senseLess" roms
Flash the settings come with
Flash Blitz update 2
Flash Blitz update 3.
Boot !! It works.
Today :

Try to go to recovery --> BootLoop.......... Hard time
Install SDK Android
Try update recovery through fastboot --> Ok but Still BootLoop

Question
How I can get a recovery to work ?
My Phone Is brick forever ?
How i Can flash a customrom from fastBoot ?
Thanks in advance & thanks to the XDA comunity for all the work Done here !!!

If you can't access any of that then I'm afraid this is a brick. I'd try pulling out your memory stick and booting, maybe removing the battery...

hi
apparently i could do Ruu with fastboot, but for now the phone gone black screen.
I think he 've got no more juice and he won't want to charge.
I plug the phone to the charger the led gone Red so charge, and 3sec later go black (think he tried to boot).
So no more Hboot too.
What i don't understand it's why the phone work well after first boot and then everything gone bad after a reboot

Try taking the battery out, re-inserting and charging for a few hours.

while the device is trying to boot or while its in bootloader (if you can get that far) try the command adb reboot recovery <--- if its in bootloop
0r fastboot reboot recovery <------ if its in bootloader.. If that is incorrect somebody correct me but im pretty sure its right.

Hi
So i success to Boot Up My Phone after all i did to him
I let my phone charge for a while doing is stuff (boot, reboot, bootLoop);
I flash the 1.17 Firmaware with HBOOT
I extract the ROM.zip from 3.12 Ruu .exe Rename it PG58IMG.zip and go HBOOT with it in root SdCard
and Voilà .!
Reboot Ok, now i think i need to Root Again etc..
Thanks To all and have a nice day.

maybe ruu can help

Are you connecting your device to your computer via USB cable when it is requesting it?
Also are you working with a Sensation or a Rezound as I notice it says you have a Rezound in your signature?
What stock ROM did you try to boot?
Have you tried to use Super Wipe before you flashed a custom or stock ROM? If you do use this make sure select reboot to bootloader in recovery after you flash a ROM. Then use fastboot to flash another boot.img via fastboot before you try to boot your device into the ROM. The Super Wipe will remove your boot.img (your kernel) from your boot partition and if a new one is not flashed before rebooting into a normal boot (not booting into recovery or Hboo) you could brick your device.

I have a rezound but my friends sensation

Good news is your not bricked.
I need more info so please boot into hboot and type out the text displayed on hboot. Then run the following fastboot command and copy the output exluding IMEI and Serial No. into a post. The fastboot command is:
fastboot getvar all

The full ruu is your best bet I own sensation and evo3d and it will put you back to stock Rom and be sure to use a formatted sd card

Sensation bricked! Stock ROM, S-ON Never Flashed before and no cwm Recovery...help

My Sons HTC Sensation started playing up last night and stopped working!
Sometimes it actualy boots into android but then freezes and only a battery pull turns it off.
Somtimes it starts but the screen stays black but you can hear the welcome sound.
I played around with pressing buttons and sticking in the charger cable and got into the boot menu by pressing volume down and power.
But it is a "virgin" senation, completely stock without any cwm recovery and its never been flashed before. And naturally its s-on because its all completely stock.
Who can give me a tip on how to go about saving this phone? Is there any way to install cwm recovery on a s-on sensation and then flash rom?
Is there an PG86IMG.zip available to flash cwm recovery onto this s-on phone?

this should belong in the Q&A, not Dev section...

that's debatable seeing as I need to install cwm and a rom...
I'm not a complete newbie, I have an 3VO 3D with s-off and a good rom but I have no knowledge of sensation hence my plea for help here...
Is there an PG86IMG.zip available to flash cwm recovery onto this s-on phone?

Mmmm...

I assume you've tried a factory reset? It's a long time since mine was stock, but I'm sure you can factory reset by holding the volume down whilst powering up and then choose the option from there... I could be wrong??

I've seen that thread but I have no knowledge of Linux and I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a PG86IMG.zip that might install cwm onto s-on device.
There is an PG86IMG.zip for 3VO 3D for s-on and also cwm that works with s-on devices.

That is to s-off the device and then install cwm. I cant get into a working android os to be able to use the http://revolutionary.io/ website. And I was hoping to be able to flash a recovery onto this s-on

still belongs in Q&A
click this link, shows how to do everything to the Sensation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
step 2 should have the custom recovery you are looking for, but it looks as if you would need s-off first? not sure, never tried it that way lol. tried running a RUU?

That link is for s-off...
For 3VO we can flash recovery with s-on, why isnt the same available for sensation?

Go into bootloader and do a factory reset. You can't flash custom recovery on it and you can't s-off it if it doesn't boot.

Someone who finally recognizes my problem, thanks for that. I can't s-off because I can't boot, that's why I was asking for a PG86IMG.zip to flash cwm on an s-on device...
I've been in the boot menu but didn't see any factory reset and that was only by chance. Now when I press volume down and power it stay black and just vibrates every 30 seconds or so...
EDIT: OK, I pulled the battery and tried again and now I'm in boot and lo and behold there is factory reset!!! SO I've pressed that and it rebooted and now its stuck on beatsaudio picture....hmmm 10 minutes later and I'm still on the beatsaudio logo....

no he hasnt been trying to flash anything, he hasnt got a clue....hence me here trying to sort it out for him...kids (he's 20 years old!)...
the phone might have been updating itself on home wifi connection

+1 for RUU. It's worth a try.
You mentioned Beats Audio boot animation? Is it an XE? Are you from the US? EU? Somewhere else? What carrier is the Sensation on? It's important to know because different regions have different RUUs.

more info needed to select correct ruu... cid, mid, hboot version... will you post these for us please

okay sorry for late reply .. You are S-ON and have CWM recovery that's why you can't pass the boot logo as CWM don't have the capibility of smart flash. you have to install 4ext recovery.
Follow the below guide :highfive: and i m assuming that your phone is htc dev unlocked and have adb and fastboot etc..
You need to flash boot.img manually using fastboot in bootloader to pass the boot screen. For viperS "boot.img" is present in kernel folder ,extract it and place it in fastboot folder..
Then open fastboot folder and press shift then right click button and choose " open command window here " .
In command window type this " fastboot flash boot boot.img " without quotes and press enter and done.
hope you understand.
After this you can install 4ext recovery easily using this guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 ) ..

[Q] ATT htc one xl Suddenly gets stuck in boot loop after restarting phone

Hey Guys,
This is my first post, so excuse me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.
a few days ago i tried to connect to my wifi at home and it was not picking it up although i was inside my own house. so i thought i should restart my phone. well after trying to restart it it got stuck in a boot loop. it would load the htc screen then start loading the venom logo then it shuts off and reboots the htc screen. i tried installing the back up, re installing the latest venom rom and even trying to put on a entire new rom but nothing has worked(it wont even let me install a new rom it errors out when i try) i doubt you will even get this but its my last effort Ive spent the entire day and all night looking for some way to fix this but i have yet to find anything. please if anyone one has any know how about this i could really used the help. i rooted my att htc one xl(evita) about 7 months ago using the method from onexroot.com and have never had an issue with this phone till now.
when i try to install a new rom via twerp it said install failed, im really stuck with this and could use some help thanks in advance.
just incase its not clear the phone is rooted running a custom rom(team venom) and im using twerp as my recovery program

hboot-1.14.0002

flash twrp 2.6 advanced wipe everything except sd card, reflash.
also since youre s-on you have to extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it with fastboot after flashing most roms. should not be the case with viper but i would do it anyway if vier doesn't boot after the above steps.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Try running an RUU. This fault (or at least a very similar fault) happened with my fiance's phone and now there's only one ROM that will boot on it (an old build of cm10.1). You may be facing a hardware fault (that's what's wrong my fiance's phone), but I'd suggest running an RUU to see if that helps.

You might brick if you ruu, I would try flashing other roms first. Make sure to check the md5 to make sure that the download isn't corrupt.
But
If you must ruu make sure it isn't 3.18. And you will have to change your cid back and relock.
Fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
To change your cid back.
If you ruu, you cannot ever the the 3.18+ ota until you reroot and achieve s-off

so i should just try a diffrent rom? when doing that i should flash the boot img using fastboot then install the rom and then do a cache whipe correct?

Did you Wipe system in advanced Wipe last time before flashing the rom?
For any rom you ever flash always follow the steps I layer out in my earlier post. It will not be different for any rom.
