HOX is in bootloop. I could not get it to boot into TWRP or anything but bootloader.
I tried pushing a new boot.img in FASTBOOT. Nothing.
I tried pushing a newer version of TWRP in FASTBOOT. Nothing.
I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU, which installed fine. Still stuck in a bootloop.
Any ideas?

Can you provide more information ? Which version are you on and what RUU you ran ..

Sounds like you need to wipe all data. Don't know the commands though, sorry. But Android is Linux, so
rm /data/*
rm /cache/*
could work, not sure how to do it through adb.
Make sure you're using files for the S4 evita One X. If you're pushing recovery etc for the Tegra One X, they aren't going to work.
So are saying that you can get into bootloader but not recovery? did you select recovery from bootloader? i know it is a silly question, but you did not mention it...also did you try to manually get into recovery by holding power+vol up+vol down and then letting go power once the phone vibrates? if all else fails, grab the RUU file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156368 once you get to the black screen that says htc

you can't manually get into recovery with a button combination.

In the recovery.command file:
--wipe_data
--wipe_cache
Get into dowload mode n flashing firmware.. or get into fastboot mode n install recovery.img after install make wipe data/factory reset.

That's your problem. You have to unlock again to push a custom recovery.
And what happens when you select fastboot or recovery? It should not be a boot loop since it is not booting into the os. Sorry of you already answered, reading from phone worked a double shift

It was bootlooping And I couldn't get into recovery so I relocked it and flashed the AT&T RUU. It said it installed all the way.

I'm aware of that. You've done nothing but run the RUU at this point? You might try running it again. It should not be bootlooping if it installed correctly, since that replaces everything on the phone.

Hi guys, i have a problem with my Sensation, OTA ICS update giving me boot loop
So here's the story:
I used custom ROM, then decided to go back to stock ROM
Flash RUU 2.3.4 then S-on, all seems normal at this point
OTA update a few times to ICS
First few update phone still normal, then ICS update and boot loop
Now the main problem:
I can't seem to do anything anymore to the phone
Phone is locked with HBOOT 1.27.000
When I try to go to recovery or factory reset it just goes to boot screen and boot loop
Steps I have tried:
Try to install RUU again by renaming zip file to PG58IMG.zip and it just says version is outdated (or similar, I forgot)
Try to flash various firmware using bootloader, but it just says parsing zip file then nothing
Try to flash firmware using CMD (flash zip) with admin privilege, but it says not allowed
Try to flash recovery img (Stock, CWM, 4ext), using CMD it says OK but nothing changes
Try to flash boot img (Stock, customs from Revolution HD 6.6.7) it says OK but nothing changes
Unlocked bootloader using HTCdev then retried all the steps above still the same
Please help, I don't know what else I can do...
Sorry if too long and confusing...
If your at the boot loader then it look like you can access fastboot. If you can there is a program called android flasher ( for windows computers and can be found in the sensation thread here on xda, if not i can upload it to dropbox for you). You can flash img's from there. Also make sure to read all instructions carefully because the Htc dev unlock has issues with bootloaders (BE CAREFUL), the revolutionary method is better, and give you a full unlock.

Hey Darryll, thanks for the response
I tried the android flasher, but when I tried to flash boot.img, it says error, your phone needs ENG bootloader.
I don't thinkI can use the revolutionary method tight now, because my hboot is already at 1.27.000
Do you know what might be causing the boot loop for my phone?

First thing, you update your phone with SuperCID and OTA, you get a bricked device.
Next, Remove your supercid, change it to original..
Relock your bootloader.
And try to update again.

yes that's the correct command. I don't understand what do you mean by installing through HTC All In One Toolkit?
do you have fastboot and adb files?
if yes, place recovery.img there.

Try flashing my recovery by direct command.
That small update is for some battery improvements from T-Mobile. Maybe it does make a difference. but not critical. I can achieve high battery times with custom kernels. Maybe you have tried them.

Have you tried this?
Go to Fastboot, enter this code:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then when you see the HTC logo.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
first time it might fail. Do it second time and it will progress. 3 4 tries are normal
EDIT: Wait. Is that an OTA.zip? that's a whole ROM not firmware.

Yeah, okay to flash with CID other than SuperCID. With SuperCID it bricks the phone when you do an OTA update.
Bud, maybe try RUU, go full stock and then get this small update OTA. That will solve all the hassle.

I dont need get RUU then get small update OTA, i get lastest RUU which after run it, dont need get any OTA update.
From now, if Tmobile or HTC release any OTA update, i am going to download newest RUU and run it instead of get update via OTA, that is so tired and waste time.
ok, I was super cid and hboot was moonshine i was running the unknown rom and went to install a bulletproof kernel. it booted and soon after rebooted, I went into cwm and it came up with a whole bunch of errors about storage and started soft resetting again. I reset with an ruu from tmobile and it still wont boot properly. my hboot was reset and now im bootloader locked again and i cant flash a recovery it resets into the ruu image thats installed an trys to scan phone storage and then just resets. am I screwed?

Why not just Unlock bootloader again and flash recovery anew, flash ROM.
Boot to bootloader and select clear storage. Then boot to bootloader and do a factory reset. Hopefully that will do it. Then you can unlock bootloader again and flash a custom recovery.

how do I unlock boot loader from bootloader. I tried fastboot oem unlock, and nothing. I cant use adb because i cant boot into android
Did the RUU install correctly? So you are now on a stock ROM? If so, did you try the first two steps i wrote?
Sent from my One S using Tapatalk 4
tried that too. still just bootloops. it will boot up show the internal storage than just bootloops.
I would try to enter fastboot and run the RUU again to be sure it flashed correctly. Then try clear storage one more time to fix your SD-card. If that doesn't work i think there is a manual way to format the sd-card. Maybe someone can provide a link?
BTW, going to sleep now.

Usual errors while installing a recovery are because the boot loader is locked (relocked).
You sure you unlocked the boot loader after you ran the RUU?
Def. Was unlocked. I am running completely stock rooted right now, only because I need the phone reliably for a few days. Cell service took forever to connect after the restore to stock and speeds are really bad on data now. Have to figure that one out. After 12 hours getting this thing to finally resemble its former self, I have files all over my laptop and am going to completely flush everything pertaining to this phone and start from scratch to get back to s off and moonshine hboot. This phone is a pita, though.
hi guys, ill try and keep it as brief as poss.
Phone was rooted working fine, dropped the phone and cracked the screen so sent for repair. Repair shop returned it back to stock :/
Left phone stock and working fine for a couple of months, accidentally let phone fully discharge and think it damaged the battery. Bought a new battery but the phone just boot loops. Can get into Hboot but when i choose recovery it just starts boot looping again. In a panic i flashed a 3.33 firmware but made no difference. Can someone give me a step by step how to sort? thanks!!
Phone says :
-firmware- 3.33-
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot 1.27.1100
emmc-boot
Im guessing its also locked because when i do the oem lock in command prompt its saying device is locked. cheers all.

If i connect fastboot-usb and use the command prompt to flash a recovery i get (error-partition doesnt exist!!)
Can i put any recovery on the sd card and somehow load it without using the recovery option?

Thanks mile_zdr. My Bad. Looks like it wrote ok (writing "recovery" ... OKAY) when i reboot and choose recovery option it still boot loops. :/ maybe im flashing the wrong recovery? Should any sensation recovery work?
Edit : Just flashed the sensation clockwork mod recovery successfully but still getting the boot loop when i hit recovery in the boot loader.

i think your only option now is to flash a ruu.exe
then try again with recovery

Thank you so much guys, think im beggining to understand it now. I have 1 more massive favour. Im struggling to find the right ruu for my phone, can someone point me in the right direction please?
since you are on S-OFF change your cid to supercid and choose any ruu you want
also remove your imei and serial number
don't show them in public
but i noticed something else
how in the hell you have ics hboot version with gingerbread firmware?

Thats a very good question rzr86 I think i have found the right ruu but i could only find one with a firmware base of 1.73 and my phone is currently 3.33. does it matter or will have to somehow downgrade my firmware to match the ruu?

I found the stock rom for my phone, double clicked the .exe and it went through all the loading process and installed the stock ruu onto my phone but the problem i started with is still there. If i turn the phone on it just goes to the htc logo and then reboots. If i hold power + vol down then pick recovery it does the exact same boot loop. thanks for your help!! :good:

Ok, Thanks for all your help friend. Im starting to think its a hardware fault now.
I have a htc sensation s-on, rooted. I tried to install cm13 and while wiping data using twrp recovery it got stuck, i removed the battery and since then it will not boot normally....it will continue booting to bootloader, if i select recovery in bootloader menu, there is no recovery....it takes me directly to fastboot
please help

Sorry man, you probably messed your emmc up.
No recovery from that as for now.

probably you had installed the faulty twrp which messes up the emmc after using wipe options
did you try to use a ruu.exe?

i can't find one for your firmware version
AFAIK there doesn't exist an ics ruu.exe for south korea
if you are on S-ON you can use something being called goldcard to bypass the security and use the gb ruu.exe
if you are on S-OFF change your cid to supercid and use whatever ruu.exe you want
