Hello all,
i have a htc sensation 4G S-off.
i broked its display, and while repairing it broken the volume key cable. now volume key not working.
i installed PACman rom 1.2 and wifi was not working.
as directed in that thread of PACman i installed beta version sultan kernel.
now its not booting, just getting the HTC splash screen and then again going off.
i tried it to connect via PC but no success , neither adb, nor fastboot, recognzing it connected.
you can go to bootloader the traditional way atleast?
remove battery --reinsert it -> hold power + volume down ..until you get to bootloader
then connect to PC (if conncected properly thge phone says FASTBOOT USB)
then you can atleast use fastboot
in the mean time from the zip of the PAC MAN rom you've installed ..extract the boot.img and copy it to your fastboot/adb folder
then type this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot using this command
fastboot reboot
and next time find the proper kernel and flash it (be careful this time )

ahh yes :/
what else ..hmm
try this
adb wait-for-device
if you got the command prompt back after the above command ...you got adb
then immediately try
adb reboot recovery

I know issue have been solved with help of ganeshp but to help other people there's a quite more simple way, htc sensation 4g tool, it also let u unlock bootloader in 4 clicks and flash new recovery but it also let u boot into bootloader and boot into recovery in one click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404

i tried 2-3 tools available for sensation before posting here, but none was able to detect the device.
i guess the issue in my case was only due to corrupt htc drivers and the broken volume key was just giving it a more confusion.
i also tried first repairing of the drivers but that doesnt helped me. then i tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and that solved out the issue.

This tool is new and u can install htc drivers from it

Yeah I know about the tool
But inside it does the same way as I'm explaining
Btw the tool perfectly works when you can boot your phone fine and ofcourse it will cause troubles when you can't boot the phone fine
But that's not the case here .. This guy's case is pretty hard here.. He can't boot to bootloader manually and also he is stuck at splash screen (where there is 90% chance that adb won't work).. Luckily he fell in the 10% category

I think I have the same problem ... Don't weither the Volume down button is bricked or broken ... But I'll try this method ...

Remove battery, reinsert it then hold down volume down button and power together.. It will take you to bootloader then select recovery from there.. Then do super wipe and flash the rom

Hi,
Tried that many times. it still leads me to the beats audio screen with is still hanging. Oroid rom does not allow us to access bootloader by pressing vol down+ power. Anyway i can access bootloader through my computer?

if it goes upto beats audio means ..you can probably use adb ..try this
NOTE:assumed you have adb/fastboot setup
first type
adb wait-for-device
then when you got control on the prompt (the blinking underscore) ..it means the device is identified
then immediately type this
adb reboot bootloader (or directly to recovery using "adb reboot recovery" )
this should take you to bootloader
hi,
i got adb not recognized as internal or external command. i hear the usb sound when i plug the phone to the computer. i attached a printscreen. Please have a look.

I have no attempted to root a phone since the OG droid...
Anyways, I went ahead and went thru Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-In-One Kit.
Loaded the CM10 zip file and the GAPPS to the root of my SD Card.
Loaded into Team Win Recovery v2.2.0
Wiped all
Installed the cm-10-20120818-bruce2728-pyramid.zip
rebooted and im stuck at the splash screen for CM10.
I have attempted to reinstal and reboot multiple times with no luck, i am at a loss.
Thank you.
more info:
My phone is not S-off (i understand that you can still root this way)
I have also tried with 4EXT....
Getting same result.
I have a feeling its the lack of S-off that i am missing a step of some sort.
Many people who have tried with out being s off have had problems try doing it and see if it works I am s off and have not had an issue flashing also make sure your on 3.33 or 3.32 fw

I think you are S-ON so kindly read the guide about flashing ROM's with S-ON
You need to extract the boot.IMG from the rom and copy it to the same folder that has your fastboot driver and close it then you need boot your device into bootloader and connect the USB cable and then hit the power button you should now be in fast boot next on your pc open cmd and type your commands for example cd c:\rootevo3dnew press enter and I would type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG now press enter this will flash your boot.IMG and last but Knott least you will type fastboot reboot press enter and watch the magic enjoy oh buy the way your s on so this is why it want boot so this is how its done when your s on and also once you get it booted you should really think about flashing 4ext custom recovery and enable smart flash its designed for those that are s on good luck

Is the phone in bootloader/fastboot when you typed the fastboot command?
.. Precisely phone should say FASTBOOT USB if connected properly from bootloader. If it is saying HBOOT then press power button once (which then changes to FASTBOOT USB) and try the command again

adb does not work when in bootloader, only fastboot works then.
Disconnect the USB cable from phone & PC.
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > From the list, uninstall all programs that begin with "HTC"
Install these drivers: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Remove & reinsert your phones battery
Hold volume down + power to get to the botloader
Select fastboot & conenct the USB cable
Your phone should now say FASTBOOT USB
Type your fastboot commands

The frivers that come with htc sync can do the job for you. Just dont remove them along with htc sync.
My phone, which is my sole and only phone.. no backups.. and is required for a meeting tomorrow.. appears to have a bricked rom installation. This wouldn't usually be a problem but my volume keys have recently stopped working. I've tried taking the bought protector case off and using volume keys then, to no avail, I've taken off the exterior case on my phone and used the little stubs but it still doesn't respond and just boots straight to the bricked rom.
Any suggestions on how to get to my boot loader?
Kindest Regards,
Harry.
If you are rooted, download quickboot from market and choose reboot into recovery

put your device into that bricked rom situation
then go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window there and do
adb reboot bootloader
see it it will reboot to bootloader

i assume you have adb and fastboot files
then do you have installed htc drivers?
also have you enabled usb debugging in settings?

I know, I know. Windows 8 is not a favoured operating system, especially for my non-touch interface, but I really can't be bothered to change it
Back on Topic, should I download HTC Sync and let that get the drivers for me as it is the only option available?

One advice from a long time HTC customer ... get the device back to seller when you still have a chance and change it for something else, try to avoid HTC at all cost. If you stay with Sensation and HTC mark, i wish you strong nerves. Thats about all.
My sensation had been great thanks to the development here on xda! No complaints here.

if you have 4ext recovery installed enable smartflash from it and then install the rom again
otherwise flash the boot.img of the rom manually

Flashing the "boot.img"
Put the"boot.img" in your "C:\Android" (or wherever your adb and fastboot are located)
Shift right click in the white space on that folder
Select "Open command window here"
If you can boot into your phone, do the following
Type in: adb
Type in: adb devices (This will give you a list of devices attached to your computer, so if your phone is correctly attached it should show up.)
Type in: adb reboot-bootloader
If you cannot boot your phone, do the following
Code:
Disconnect your phone from your pc
Power off your phone
Remove the battery
Insert the battery back in
Turn on your phone while holding BOTH the POWER ON and VOLUME DOWN button
Connect your phone to your pc again
Your phone will (re)boot, wait until you see a white screen which says "FASTBOOT USB"
In the command windows on your pc, type in: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Wait until it's done flashing
Type in: "fastboot reboot"
