I think I bricked my Sensation Xe

hi seniors
i am new to Android phones.
I have HTC Sensation Xe which was rooted and with unlocked boot loader, also have super user permission(what ever in technical terminology).
Hboot verion 1.29.0000 and it's S-On.
Recently I tried to install Elegancia Rom on it, after following instructions I flashed my phone.
After restarting my phone, It got stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have waited for it to boot for more then 15 min, but it never went ahead from that screen.
I have tried to wipe cache and dalvik etc. and re flashed again. But every time it stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have tried to restore backup( Nandroid) from recovery screen( which is 4ext recovery), but it not recognizing my backup.
Now I am not able to do anything on my phone, so please help me how to revive my phone??

Its not bricked. The problem is you are S-ON and so should have enabled SmartFlash in 4EXT or manually flash a boot.img using fastboot flash boot boot.img
There is a guide somewhere in the general section about flashing ROMs with S-ON, read and follow the instructions

Thnx again

Thnx man for replying.
I am downloading your Rom, but let's say, after some time I want to reinstall STOCK ROM, then how can I install that?? please guide me, and sorry for bothering you, as I am a new android user.

The type of stock ROM you can install depends on S-ON/S-OFF status, CID and Model ID. you have Sensation XE - Model ID of PG5831001 (I think) so you can only install RUU_Pyramid_LE_ stock RUU's
Then you have S-ON so you can only install the same or higher RUU version as what you are on (to check use fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and look for mainversion in the output) eg if mainversion = 3.33.401.106 then you can only install the 3.33.401.106 or higher RUU.
Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)

Thnx again man. You are really helpful.
I have
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Main version is 3.33.4.1.106 as you said, and CID is HTC_001.
I have downloaded stock ROM (RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.106_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266172_signed), but when I tried to install it failed.
So tell me what I am doing wrong. Right now I am installing Darkforest Rom, but in future If I want to flash stock rom them what should I do??

What error code are you getting? Sometimes the phone needs to be connected to the pc when its in bootloader mode before the RUU will run without errors

It was like, this update cannot be installed on your phone. My phone was not connected in bootloader mod when I tried, also I have installed Elegancia Sense 4.0 rom on my phone.
BUT AS OF now, I have installed your DarkForest rom and it's working fine. SO I would like to explore the same.
In future if I want to get back to stock rom, then I will get guidance from you.
Thnx man for prompt replies every time. I really appreciates it.

Well no ruu for now, but as JavierArends says you can use TrickDroid and BackToBasics Rom. I was having that problem too. No boot, stuck on htc screen. The problems is that ther is no base software 4.0.4+ for that phone. If you want to use your phone againa flash backtobasics, but that rom is Senseless, but works great, if you want Sense you can install TrickDroid this way:
Download trickdroid v2.0.0 , full wipe (user, cache, dalvik) flash Rom, go to bootloader adn flash boot.img and reboot until it works
After that you can download trickdoid v3.0.0 and flash only wiping cache and dalvik
that works for me

Hard Bricked?

If you can enter to bootloader you can run a ruu from there. If you the locked the bootloader the ruu has to work fine. In order to install trick droid you have to unlock boot loader , install recovery and gain root access. I think the only thing you have to flash with fast boot is the boot.img

I have a HTC One S villec s3, and I unlocked it using the official HTCDev method, then I tried to install CWM but I couldn't, then I successfuly installed TWRP, and it worked fine.
I made a backup of the official ROM so good, but after doing factory reset, wiping cache/dalvik I accidentally press power and the phone was powered off. Now when I turn it on I can get into bootloader but I can't enter into TWRP, I tried reinstalling TWRP but I can not get into TWRP, only thing that I see is the logo of TWRP and suddenly restart.

my bad.. you are from telcel.. so you have the annoying CID BSTAR301. i found a JB OTA from our CID http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...15.20.29_M_release_315588dsq1aqy4avpc8u41.zip but.. i don't know if works.... you can try install some sense based ROM like viper compatible with Moonshine to get S-OFF or you can try install any ROM and try rumrunner to S-OFF. after that you can try fastboot oem overwrite cid HTC__044 or something like that... its HTC Asian CID.. if that not work you can try this
xiaolvmu said:
OK... @JavierG123
I already found an existing tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911
The only difference is, VilleC2 can't use 11111111. You can change it to HTC__044 (Asia Version)
Then, in this download page : http://androidruu.com/?developer=VilleC2
Download this: RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.15.707.101_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_289564_signed.exe
Then you can flash the pure RUU

Well, here is what I have done so far...
Downloaded the Ruu Asia, downloaded the BSTAR OTA and downloaded Viper also...
Flashed Viper rom and Wrote the Viper boot.img file and phone keeps in bootloop.
So, At this time I opened IR'Key software and after reading phone info I could notice teh CID was changed itself from BSTAR to HTC__01, awesome, I would no believe it. SO I used teh sane software and edited the CID to be the ASIAN one, and it CHANGED !!
great
I then tried to flash the Stock Asian RUU, first I relocked the BOOT.
The RUU started to work and gave an error complaining the MODEL is not compatible
Now I cant enter recovery, and cant unlock bootloader vbecause the unlockFile doesnt work (I think I have to go through all the way to the bootloader unlock process to install the recovery again)
The question is, do I have to also edit the Model ID ? and what is the correct model ID for the ASIAN RUU to be compatible ?

[Q] Firmware 3.33 but no roms boot properly after installation.

Hi Guys, I've been using KGS Utility with much success up until the last stage (trying to load a ROM).
I have S-Off and firmware 3.33 yet whatever ROM I try to install it never boots (had a few infinite reboots, and a few stuck on the tMobile l oading screen, not it's stuck on the HTC white screen
I'm currently trying this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035591&highlight=cyanogen and have followed the instructions to format and wipe using 4ext. The phone still reliably boots into the bootloader using voldown+poweron.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? The searches I've done have all suggested double checking firmware # and make sure you're following the mod instructions (wipes, etc).

what does the botloader say ?
UNLOCKED or JUOPUNUTBEAR ?

Hi, tried 3.32 tonight, installed successfully (says revolution now instead of the number, as you said earlier) then did a cache clear + davik clear. Same exact issue. ROM installs successfully but on reboot it makes an odd windows noise (normally the beepboop, but this is like beep*flutter*boop) and gets stuck on the white HTC boot screen indefinitely.

I just noticed that your signature says the firmware doesn't need SuperCID, is it an issue if I put SuperCID on the phone first and then used that firmware?

Latest firmware is 3.33. If you are s-on you cannot update firmware. 3.33 contains the radio...etc. You will get a security fail on bootloader screen if you try...

Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
and your HBOOT will be upgraded to the latest one...

yep, i'm 100% sure that this will update the firmware and of course the HBOOT... anyway you need to lock the bootloader and after the process start again the rooting stuff

but what kind of firmware can be used?
i assume not the one from kohr-ah's thread
the one that it is including in the ruu.exe?(just extract it and done?)

to put it in simpler terms
firmware upgrade is possible if the official firmware for that device (based on cid,modelid and version-main) is available (can be extracted from RUU/OTA) even if the device is SON

[Q] HTC logo with 4 triangles in every corner

Hello,
I hope you can help me on this one. I have a HTC Sensation XE with S-ON, locked bootloader. Region for RUU is europe .401.. I wanted to install a new rom and the process took so long that I removed the battery and started it again to find out that my ROM was wiped and the new one don't work. I was able to go in recovery but after trying like 10 other roms I got no hope left. Then I found out that there is a RUU that I can use to bring my phone back to stock again. I used one RUU which I think met my phone(I could have been wrong). After starting the update like 15 minutes or so it got stuck at the installing screen and gave me a 150 error. I wanted to try again but when I started the phone I only saw a grey HTC logo and 4 triangles in every corner. I did try it again but still got the 150 error. I am lost and I hope you can help me with this.
Btw. my sd-card is lost and the phone don't have a sd-card now.

i think you are using the wrong ruu.exe
can you post your firmware version and cid?
the grey htc logo and 4 triangles means that you are stuck in ruu mode

Oh wait.. found what you was looking for but unfortunately I get nothing in version-main. Does this mean I got no firmware? And in "product" I got Pyramid, isn't this supposed to be Pyramid LE?

pyramid is the code name for sensation devices
i don't think that matters
in your 1st post you said that your region is europe (401)
so your firmware version has the 401 number on it
you used the right ruu but i don't know what went wrong
try to boot into bootloader
if you manage that unlock it from htcdev site
flash a custom recovery(i suggest 4ext)
then flash a custom rom

I did try to flash a custom rom before I tried the RUU and it had unlocked bootloader & S-OFF but didn't flash any roms. I don't have a sd card with me now so I am gonna try it later.

Tried already, it reboots into ruu again with 4 triangles

Did u try the ruu again after the 150 error? Error 150 means connection problem, so try again, try different usb slot and cable.
