serious problem - bootloop, no way to detect phone with adb - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I need some expert help about my self-bricked sensation:
I was on stock android 4.0.3 with root, unlocked bootloader and s-on. One day I came up with idea of flashing CM 10.1. I have had already cwm touch 5.8.0.9 installed so i went there and flashed an zip with cm. A while after i realized that it was a mistake.
My device is stucked in bootloader, i can connect to usb with fastboot, however adb drivers dont recognize it and nothing appears after adb devices. I was trying to flash an 4ext recovery with s-on smart flash which could help me, but it only made my cwm dissapeared.
What can I do in that case? I have this 4ext recovery in zip on my sd, and by launching bootloader it isloading it, then parsing, and... nothing happens.
Please help me, I would like to have anything working

when you connect your device via usb from bootloader does it say fastboot usb on screen?
if yes then try again to install 4ext recovery using the fastboot command
also don't try to flash the zip which contains 4ext from bootloader because you are S-ON
that's why it failed

reply
Yes, I know about the s-on fail...
What do you mean writing about fastboot commands? How to use it?

HTC Sensation HBoot 1.27, S-ON, Won't flash Roms - NEED HELP! :-(

Hey everyone!
Basically I've got the HTC sensation (H Boot 1.27) & what happened was...
I rooted the phone & got clockwork mod recovery on it also without turning s-off.
Without backing up the rom (very silly of me) I did a full wipe on the phone to try flash a new rom but the rom wouldn't boot so I tried flashing a different rom & that wouldn't boot also so now i'm soo stuck & really neeed someone's help because I cant get the phone to work!
I was thinking that maybe someone who's on the same hboot as me could back up there system give it to me so i can try use there backup to start my phone?
Please XDA' people help me!
I'm willing to buy ANYONE a beer (via paypal) if they can help! :crying:
Flash the rom you want via clockwork, then when it's finished go to fastboot, connect the phone with usb to the computer and use ADB to flash the boot.img of the rom you just flashed
kgs1992 said:
Flash boot.img from the ROM manually from fastboot.
Put the boot.img from the zip file to your adb folder.
Connect your phone in fastboot USB
Open a command window
cd to the adb folder
for example:
Code:
cd c:\android
Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then type:
Code:
fastboot reboot

Enable smart flash and re-flash the rom
.. But don't do complete wipe.. Just do wipe of Dalvik + cache.. And re flash the rom
You won't lose a single spec of data and voila the WIFI works too

[Q] [noob] Multi-problems 4ext, CWM, superuser - Advice?

I'm posting this in a single thread to minimize clutter.
I recently ran Easy Ace Root tool as instructed on my inspire. The bootloader unlocked, CWM flashed, but there was an error during superuser flash.
After a reflash of superuser things looked okay, but superuser began not responding. I re-flashed superuser twice in attempt to fix it using the Easy Ace Root Tool.
EDIT: I have discovered that superuser will only function with "USB debug mode" enabled. I've tried it on and off several times, and each time it malfunctions but function returns without a problem.
The backup I have been restoring seems to work because it was created with the debug mode enabled. Took a while to see it.
Second, CWM started to exhibit the "power off, charge" recovery bug where CWM opens.
Last, I attempted to install/flash 4ext Recovery Touch twice to address the CWM bug. Both times it hung at "flashing recovery" (approx 20 mins. both times). Eventually, it indicated that 4ext was installed. However, booting into recovery shows that I still have CWM. I used two different versions (RC8 & RC 7) in the attempt.
I'm now using the restored and working ROM. Solutions to the superuser debug issue I haven't seen posted
The failure to flash 4ext is troubling.
Questions
1. Could these issues be related? Or, what should I be looking for?
2. The recovery issue seems to be the most important. What might be the cause of 4ext to fail in this manner?
3. Can the Easy Ace Root Tool be rerun on the unlocked bootloader, and would that fix anything?
4. Is there reason to worry about flashing with CWM?
I see a number of possible solutions, the main one is to flash a new ROM, which I have already downloaded a couple, but doesn't adress the recovery problems.
The issue with CWM and 4ext leave me less than confident in using it to flash with, although CWM seems okay. The other item is that some ROMs indicate that S-off in required, but many of the threads are a couple years old.
5. Is it correct that S-off is not required to flash ROMs (I read it somewhere)?
I found an answer: NO, YOU DON'T NEED S-OFF TO FLASH ROMS....
Solving the issues are good lessons
Stock AT&T ROM
Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0
Bootloader screen indicates-
UNLOCKED
S_ON
I know that's a lot for one thread but I'm just looking for a direction and I'll do the search.
If anyone has suggestions, directions, or ideas fire away.
Thanks
I think the fact that you are still S-ON is causing problems with the recovery flashing, since S-ON basically means that the recovery partition is not-writeable.
Have you tried using fastboot to flash a new recovery? Plug your phone into a computer, get into the bootloader, select "fastboot" (if not already selected), wait for "FASTBOOT USB" to appear, and then run the following on the computer:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to recovery.img>
However that S-ON still worries me. You might have to do things manually:

Thanks, I think you meant to say the fact that I am still S-ON? The S_ON part shouldn't be an issue from all that I've gathered. In fact, that's how I have CWM. The Easy Ace Root Tool does CWM, with an unlocked bootloader S_ON. Nothing I have come across states that S_OFF is required to flash 4ext recovery.
Other noobs might find this other thread useful as there is some info and links to recovery images. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22489317#post22489317
No I haven't tried the fastboot yet. That is an option, I've got it and adb setup on my computer already. I have looked at AAHK, but as it says its no longer supported, and I don't think I need of S_OFF. Taking it slow to sort out the problems so I don't do sumthin stooopid.
How are you flashing 4ext? From fastboot?
Right, S-ON, that's what I get for writing this at 12 AM.
Don't bother with AAHK, it's discontinued, and even if you still had a copy it couldn't download the necessary files.

bananagranola,
I used the 4Ext Recovery Updater for both attempts. As I said in the OP, both attempts hung at "flashing recovery" approx 20 mins, and eventually indicated that 4ext was installed. In Recovery Updater it listed/highlighted the version I thought I had installed, but CWM was still the recovery that booted.

Can you confirm for me that the instructions in this thread

It's the EVO 3D forum. And I have some other links to using fastboot I'll check before doing it.
Yes, those instructions will work. If you can't boot into fastboot through the GUI, you can also power on the phone while holding the volume down button, and that will get you into the bootloader.

Okay, great. This is the only recovery .img that I have found 4EXT-recovery-2.2.7_RC5.img - 3.33 MB
If I install the 4ext recovery Updater after flashing it should work okay?
And, Will I be able to update once I have flashed it (assuming it works) and have installed the recovery Updater?

Probably. But I don't think it really matters, since if you can flash a recovery using fastboot, you can do everything that 4ext updater otherwise would.

See above.
If 4ext doesn't work, you can also try CWM and TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project). I use the latter with my Inspire 4g.
I strongly advise you use the app to download the recovery, unzip, and then flash it from fastboot.

I'll take "strongly" as more than a suggestion. Thanks, it had not occurred to me to get the recovery.img from the updater.
I had actually found several other images and was trying to figure out what was what. That saved me some time, but I did read a lot about 4ext.
I was considering trying the Recovery Updater one more time. Bad Idea?

I am S-ON. Does that present an issue with fastboot of the recovery.img?
I'm just going to overwrite the current recovery. Nothing else needs to be done does it?

Solved the 4EXT flashing issue. Looks like 4ext flashed okay with fastboot, and the 4EXT Recovery Control works. Rebooted into recovery a couple times just to be sure. That kills 2 birds the CWM bug and the recovery flash.
Thanks for the help and suggestions all.
Some notes from a noobs experience -
Setting up ADB and Fastboot is very easy.
If your cautious as I am run some basic commands in ADB and Fastboot that won't do damage [devices, reboot, reboot-bootloader, etc.]
If you get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img" make sure you navigate to folder that recovery.img is located. Then run "Fastboot flash recovery [Filename]." Even though I set system variables on my desktop to point to adb and fastboot, it won't find the recovery image if you start from the wrong directory in terminal (i.e., C:\)
If you're in ADB and you use the command "adb reboot-bootloader" it will boot the device straight to "Fastboot USB".
Don't forget that each time you flash a ROM from recovery, you still need to fastboot flash its boot.img separately.

Thanks for the reminder. I just spent an hour looking at 4EXT "smartflash no available". I hav some links for doing fastboot flash of the boot.img. I think I'm good there.
One question from my OP remains. Superuser only works (i.e., grants root access) when I have USB debug mode selected. When it's off superuser says the app (e.g., Titanium BU) is granted permission but just hangs until I force close it and re-enable USB debug. i can't find anything on this problem.
Is it an issue to run my phone in USB debug mode all the time? Or, any clue to the problem?

I fixed it myself and a little help from androidworld forum in the Netherlands.
I tried to fix it with this xda page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
But I came till end of step 4B. I then tried to flash with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" but get the message that boot.image was not recognised. The file boot.image was extracted from a ROM zip. Like the threat said put out from the tab kernel/stock the file boot.image.
Than I tried the same thing with a tool KGS Utility v8.0 earlier mentioned in my post, the same that give me the problems.
Startup the tool KGS Utility v8.0 and did step to flash a boot.image. Put the file boot.image in de tab C:\Program Files (x86)\KGS Utility\tools and run it. After flashing closed the tool KGS Utility v8.0 reboot the phone. It took a while but it reboot
Now I am on ViperS 5.2.1 with SebastianFM 1.0.4 kernel

[Q] Phone boots only into recovery mode

The phone belongs to a friend.
So as the title says, the phone can only boot into recovery mode. The device has a custom recovery -- 4Ext recovery --
He got stuck in bootloop after he tried to flash a rom. He also tried to fix it and that's when he installed 4Ext.
I don't know if the bootloader is locked or unlocked, S-ON or S-OFF and also the USB Debugging might be off as well. He says that the combination for HBoot/bootloader/fastboot (it is the same thing) does not work. So he gets into that recovery every time the phone boots.
Those are the worst options. But maybe the phone is S-off because of that recovery installed. I'm just thinking... Can you flash a recovery with S-ON or with usb debugging off?
Anyway, please give me some ideas... I'm kinda begginer with HTC.
Sorry for my bad english. Any ideas on how to fix this?

you can flash a recovery while on S-ON too
but you can't with usb debugging off
so probably the usb debugging is on
probaly the device is on S-ON
try this
from 4ext:
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom
see how it goes
I am going to try that once i have the phone. As I said, the phone belongs to a friend. Untill then, if anyone else has another ideas, please write them here.

As I said, the phone only boots into recovery so first i need something to flash in that recovery mode. After i get rid of that recovery and i can acces home screen or more important fastboot, then i can flash a stock rom. I can't even check if the bootloader is locked or unlocked. Let's hope that USB Debbuging is ON.
What can i flash into recovery so i can get rid of it? Where is the smartflash option? Those are my questions for now.

boot your device to the bootloader,select fastboot and connect it to the pc
extract the recovery.img from the link above and place it in the folder where you have adb/fastboot files in your pc
open a command window from that folder and type

fastboot reboot bootloader
then you will have 4ext recovery installed

Hi guys I tried to flash ''cm-13.0-20151108-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid'' via ''TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-r9-cm13'' but that failed, ever since I am stuck at the HTC logo, I tried to flash numerous older firmwares but try to factory reset/wipe I get an ''unable to format storage'' so any Rom I try fails. It was previously running older version of CM fully rooted which I have fully backed up via CWM but now cant restore is due to TWRP & CWM being incompatible.
I have tried so many ADB commands but ADB only responds when in TWRP any time else like in Fastboot I get absolutely no response at all, I have also tried to flash CWM back any way possible but have failed same with ''4EXT-Recovery-Touch-v1.0.0.5-RC5-PG58IMG''. Also tried RUU but kept on receiving 'Connection Error' even though the USB cable was connected & works fine, also tried using ''Sensation_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1'' no luck either with any of its commands.
I have attached the Bootloader screen if it can help with this boot loop.
I have never has such issues with Samsung Phones so I am a total noob with HTC phones so any help would be really great.
Any help would be really great from this amazing community!
TWRP has broken my partition table. I cannot format via parted due to the fact it now has 'overlapping partitions'. No recovery can fix this including 4ext. Completely stuck at the minute. I don't want to use a microsd card as storage when I have internal storage available. Is there anyone that can help or has had any success? I am S-OFF and bootloader UNLOCKED.
Tried stock RUU via P58..zip and get's stuck part way through (I think at system or SD)
Help! I'm sure there's someone that can fix the partition table. The format of the internal storage sd is fat32 - which I believe is where the problem started from. I don't want to let this problem defeat me although I have spent an age trying to sort it...too late to give up
Any help is highly appreciated.
Cheers

Yeah how did you do it? Too late for me now though as my device is S-OFF and I'm stuck in QHUSB_DLOAD bricked mode. I have tried unlimited.io's s-off etc no joy. Wonder if there is ever going to be anything that can take me out of this apart from jtag.

What I've done has been, through a PC with Windows Vista (I have been unable to get anything with Windows 8 onwards ), I installed the HTC One X All In One tool, and in the part where the recoverys are located, there are three (CWM, TWRP and other), I went to the Data / Recoveries folder and I deleted the TWRP, replacing this with an image of 4EXT Recovey Touch, and putting the same name that has the recovery erased. Then I went to the tool, I installed TWRP (which was 4EXT which replaced it) and my Sensation revived. Good luck!
For me it is not loading to 4ext, after flashing it..... stuck at htc logo. if i install twrp or cwm it boots to it... any idea how to fix it?
