[Q] arrr help

bit of a noob trying to put a nice rom on my phone..... cant get by the first bit lol,
2 problems
1 followed noob guide as regards to the revolutionary key, go the key (all case correct ect) but only got invalid key every time. So, thought maybe it did work , i better check the hboot..... Can i get into the hboot NO!!! just keeps starting the phone every time. Yes i hold volume down and press power, yes i have disabled fastboot and i have tried taking battery out..... nothing, just loads up normally every time!!
Im on a vodafone sensation , just down loaded the new 2.34 automatically, have i done somthing for the hboot screen to be nonexsistant now?

get into recovery through ADB.. with Command prompt. its on the guide as well, download adb
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

ok down loaded adb from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
theres 2 applications fast boot and adb, with phone connected to pc both only flash up and then disapear there command box thing. Have i done something to block or skip the hboot screen?
this is turning into an absolute nightmare! my hd2 was so easy lol all this and i havnt even s-off yet, let alone recovery, wipe and rom ( ithink)

would a factory reset bring it back?

Did you back up your phone prior because if you did, your can start from there, if not and you must, factory reset should help solve your problem.

Well managed to s off god knows how lol. I found in the file I down loaded an called flash, I knew the flash would do nothing as the phone was still locked ,the cod stayed open for this and obviously it could not flash... But It the end it put my phone into the boot screen where I saw I was still on "on" so back to drawing board, now I new the key was case sensitive but I had still managed to get a capital "i" mistaken for a small "l". Only replied this when I copied and pasted to note pad where it was obvious. What a donuts I am. So now the beta key worked and I'm "off". Wahoo!. Now I think I have to root the phone and then I can put energy ROM... I hope. Thanx for your help guys. But I'm sure iv still got the hard bit to do now lol

Congrats! Just remember to back up before flashing in the off chance the file you downloaded is corrupted or you dislike the results

+1..... i also recommend this and i also recommend downloading the ruu for your phone. saves alot of time when tryin to turn your phone back to s-on. ive seen alot of post of people askin what ruu they should download for whatever reason (mainly warranty issues) when all they had to do is check and download the correct ruu before flashing anything on there phone.

I think I bricked my Sensation XE

I tried to S-On my sensation xe using adb and now its not working!!!
Help me.. Please
I cant turn it on even with holding the voulme down

Have you tried connecting it to the PC? Does the PC recognize it ?
Also did you run the RUU before doing S-ON?

I didn't run the RUU before trying to S-ON
But when I connect the phone to my pc I can hear a sound from my pc but nothing happens... please help me bro.. I wanna cry..

That is were you did something wrong, you had to run the RUU before doing S-ON.
You could download the RUU, and see if it detects your phone. If so then you could rescue your phone.

Im actually downloading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327295
is it ok?
If not, Can you find me a suitable RUU for sensation xe?

Not really, can you remember what version your XE was in before you rooted it?

2.3.4? What do u mean?
The thing I just downloaded is not going to work?

Not that version. If you updated your phone fully then it should be : 1.73.401.4
But I am not sure, This is a very tricky situation you are in. I would say you should download the newest RUU for the XE, but I am not sure. Also the link is NOT correct.

Can you find the link for me please?
Also, If you have msn, please add me : [email protected]

I can't really as I don't know what version your phone was in before you rooted it. :/

I dont know what to do..
I dont have HTC in my country Israel
I bought this from a private company which cant do **** about it..
It costed me alot..
Im so screwed man.. Im stuck with my HD7 and Apple Peel 2 and my ****ty ipod 4 again.. **** MY LIFE

Maybe I should kill myself cuz im a retard

Press volume down + power button and see if it goes to at least hboot
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

Mine doesnt go into hboot anymore, I accidentally went to hboot 1.20.0000 (Didn't put it off my SD) and then it kept updating and now it just gets to the HTC screen and endlessly stays there
I had 1.18.0000 before.
Anyone knows how I can get it back?
I have a nandroid, is there any way I can backup through the pc?

Try removing the hboot image update file from your SD (put it USB adaptor). Can you get to cwm?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

yes leaving the .img file on your sd will result your hboot to update over and over until it is removed. First time I tried it, I panicked as I just gotten my phone for only a day then but now I'm confident that I won't brick my phone unless I intend to do so. If your phone works again, I suggest you don't S-On. I mean, come on?!

I got sensation also and i from israel.
Do u want my assistet?
If yes send me p.m ill give u my mail..

I had that same issue. Make sure you're super CID as well. Then the file should update properly and you can continue with the flashing.

Find your correct ruu, download ruu.exe to your pc, put your phone into fastboot mode, from h boot screen press power, you can then connect your phone to pc and run the ruu.exe as administrator. This will take you back to stock, s off, unrooted phone. Your phone will be restored and working. Then go read all of the stickies thoroughly so you understand what you are doing and what you need to do to successfully flash ROMS without the risk of bricking.

Sorry for being a noob, I don't quite get what you are saying.
Right now I'm pretty scared of bricking my phone, i've decided not to upgrade. Can I just insert the micro-sd card into my computer, then delete the firmware file and be done with it and have my phone back to normal????
Please help!!

Hi I'm learning about everything too. I can say I don't regret rooting and flashing custom Rom for a second! It can be intimidating at first, trust me I know but if you stick with it your reward will be great! Before you do anything read about it. What I did was even print out instructions so I didn't miss a step that helped me out a lot when flashing my first Rom. There's a lot to learn but everyone here is so helpful. Ask questions, read. Soon it becomes clearer and easier to understand. Its up to you if you wish not to proceed, but I just wanted to give you a pep talk and let you know you can do this! But never proceed unless you are comfortable with it. I wish you the best and good luck in what ever you decide to do.

The boot loop problem really scared the **** out of me. I guess i was being a little careless and didn't bother to check the CID of my phone, I thought I have Super CID already, but it is showing i have the incorrect CID.
I really want to experience ICS, even tho I am happy with my phone right now. I'm just so afraid of bricking my phone.
I guess I will do more homework on it before I do it.
Can someone answer my question in the previous post?
Thank you in advance

Back from repair now not sure how to root

Hi all, got my phone back from repair, with the latest orange crap and newest hboot. Ive read that I need to use Juopunutbear, to the s-off, root etc, but I dont like the look of Juopunutbear, (using wire? no chance_. I found the old revolution way much safer and easy to do. How can i still do it like that? Would i need to flash the old orange ruu on the sdcard?

You can't run older ruu when SON
To have custom rom's you need to do SOFF via Juopunutbear way or htc dev unlock
The later might not work for you.. As you might got motherboard replaced..
So only solution is JB via temproot

My repair was only for dust under the screen. so i have the choice of voiding warranty via a piece of wire (visual void), or I virtually tell htc im voiding it? There must be a sneakier way?

I believe you do know that.. To turn back SON.. Just one command will do... So it literally means the process is reversible
And I'm afraid that there is no other way to use root/custom rom

I dont actually mean using the exe, i mean pulling the pg file out and putting it on the sd, then it would let me flash back to gingerbread in the bootloader?

I see what you mean about not being able to go backwards. Im stuck now as the dev unlock is no use and I do not have the steady hand to do the wire trick

You can still flash ROMs while S On.

Its just that I found everything easier with s-off, rooted and supercid

I highly doubt it. If you're uncomfortable, you should stick with stock. It's always wise to not do it if you aren't sure of it..

If I had steady hands it wouldnt be a problem, Im a flashaholic, hate stock lol x

Maybe if you read over it a few times you might get a bit more comfortable with it? What I do is even print out the guide so I don't miss a step.this has really helped me in the past when doing new things, I know it may sound silly but its nice to have a printed guide infront of you incase you get in a pinch. This way all the steps are right there in front of you. This is what I do. Just a suggestion. If you DO decide to give it a shot then maybe this might help. I wish you the best in which ever you decide. I just wanted to share this with you because having a printed guide has really helped me out in the past. Good luck and best wishes to you!

Well I decided to give it a go, downloaded everything printed of instructions etc. Ran the temp root file, then it said now run the bear, but after bear connected to my phone it says not rooted? Now I'm stuck.

not properly rooted ..it seems..
did you got any errors when temp root was run...also make sure htc sync is uninstalled(have the drivers installed too) and the phone should be kept in htc sync mode ...also no hubs or usb 3.0 ports

Thanks for the help, it worked sort of. I completed the s off I said yes to modified hboot, then removed temp root. Then applied root. Problem is the hboot still shows as the normal but with s off and when I try to install recovery it says wrong cid. Nearly there

If your Hboot still says *locked* you cannot flash a recovery.
Please get the correct Hboot from here & follow flashing instructions: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
You can then proceed to flashing recovery.

Right done that even though the green line never goes to the end my hboot no longer says locked. I put the recovery zip on the sd, booted into bootloader said yes, completed and rebooted, but no custom recovery there?

[HELP]HTC Sensation XE Brick

Hi,
i dont know how to start...
First problem with my HTC was yesterday, when i call phone shutdown after 1-2 min everytime i try it. It just shutdown instantly and reboot.
Today phone shutdown again but now it wont start. When i pull battery out for 3-5 min it will start, boot and shutdown. Now i have problems even to start it. It shutdown from bootloader and recovery too. Everytime it boots there was dialog "updating apps" but i didnt flashed anything for about 1 month, last app inistaled maybe 10 days before ? Nothing new.
When connect to USB its QHSUSB_DLOAD, phone looks off but i can feel its little bit hot on SD card, SIM slots.
I have new MB from HTC service, it comes with 1.29 HBOOT but i unlocked it and changed HBOOT everything was OK for 2 months.
Phone was 6 months on same ROM no changes.
InsertCoin 5.5.0
Can someone help me ?
Will give u info from bootloader if it power on
HTC Sensation XE
SuperCid
InsertCoin 5.5.0
.....
EDIT:
Ok so power on failed... Powered 3x times after 2 hours of trying it but only for 1 sec and then off.
HBOOT 1.27
S-OFF
Battery is OK tested on another one HTC Sensation (non-XE)
When is phone on charged LED doesnt do anything. Like phone is dead but it sucessful sometimes to get in bootloader for 1-2 second or boot into recovery but it dont finish because phone will turn OFF ( not recovery failure) it even turn off while it stay in bootloader and dont do anything

If that doesn't fix it then it could be time to replace your battery. Do you have another you can test with or are you still running on the stock one? I'm a heavy user and usually need a new battery every 9 months or so.
It's about time for me to replace my ankhor battery now as well...

I think you havea USB Brick, more common on older devices. You will have to download an RUU, Extract the ROM.zip from it...Rename to PG58IMG.zip and flash through bootloader. Someone else had a similar issue and doing the details above fixed it for him.
Run the RUU and open windows task manager, When ARUWIZARD.exe appears right click and open file location. Copy ROM.zip and paste to desktop, rename to PG58IMG.zip and flash through bootloader. At least trying this will also revert to stock for a warranty repair / replace

Hello, wanted to do this but few hours before phone went off finally. No more QHSUSB_DLOAD no LED nothing... I will try to power it on by some magic/voodoo :laugh: but i think it doesnt help. Must be HW fault because phone problems changes without and software changes, flashing. :crying:
