Please help!!

Today i bought an HTC Sensation i tried to get s-off which i thought i succeeded in and i got root, after that i just installed Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU straight from stock recovery. Now i have bootloops... The android version i had from the start was RUU​_Pyramid​_HTC​_Europe​_1.35​.401​.1_ please help me get my phone working, as i have no clue on what the hell i wrong?

you have to flash a rom compatible with that fw! but i suggest you to update fw to 3.24 and then flash the rom...
however this is not the right place to ask this

you flashed a firmware that was ICS compatible and you still had a GB rom on your device therefor putting you into bootloops. You need to flash firmware 1.17 from Here and be more carefull and follow the guide

but read and follow carefully the guide
is very simple, only 1-2 clicks but can be dangerous if you don't do it correctly
And put the script in the ADB folder or it wont run

There are other links on there for other providers. Who is your service provider?

THANK YOU!

You said you ran the RUU from recovery...do you mean you ran it through bootloader? First that PGIMG you need to remove that from your SD card after you install and before you reboot your device or it will loop forever.

i have it working.. thank you all please delete this thread moderators

What did you do, forget to remove firmware image off SD?? Im sure it might help others..

Read the stickies at the top of this forum before doing anything else or you are going to brick your phone. If you don't know how, don't do it. The stickies have tutorials in them that will tell you everything.

How about you try reading and researching a bit instead of asking for us to hold your hand? It's not that difficult to answer any of your questions by yourself.

Ok,
So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.
I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.
Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.
How can I fix this please guys?

Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.

HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.
It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.
You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.
Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.
Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.
I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.

Thanks for responding.
I've got S-OFF and flashed boot.img with adb.
Will 4EXT allow me to mount the sd card?

Yes it should
Also some roms require 4ext it's a super easy touch recovery to use. You can download from here or the playstore.

Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too , just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.
If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.

It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.
Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.

Hi,
What does your bootloader say?
hboot etc.

Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.

hboot 1.18.0000

As far as I was aware S-ON just prevented the boot.img from being written via recovery, which can be done with adb. So the only reasons for these issues must be firmware version right?

Hi,
It is a pity you went to HTC to unlock your phone.
I wonder if you can still s-off using revolutionary.
You are going to need to run a RUU,and hopefully get a working phone again.
Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.
The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.
The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.
Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.
Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.

This is driving me nuts, tried 2 ruu's, both failed, if it was my phone it would be out the window!

AAHK is retired. Root by unlocking the boot loader, flashing a recovery from fast boot, and flashing su or a rooted ROM from there.

Then what "hack kit" is it that you are running and that is updating the radio? And you can't have both S-Off and an unlocked bootloader.

According to its filename, that's an old AAHK. It's unsupported and the files it needs have been taken down.

There isn't one. You can only unlock the bootloader. There are people who say you can use AAHK with the right RUU for your phone, and there's a manual method. But both are unsupported.

[Q] [HELP] Soft bricked HTC Inspire

My Inspire has bootloader unlocked via htcdev and i tried to install a custom rom and it bricked. It has s-on and it isn't rooted. It can go to htc white screen and cwm recovery. i've tried a ton of things to unbrick none of which worked. My best guess to unbrick it is that i need the PD98DIMG.zip, PD98DIMG.nbh, PD98IMG.zip, and PD98IMG.nbh. If any knows where to get these or other tips to possibly unbrick my phone, please tell me. Thanks in advance.

Read my signature. Your phone is not bricked.

No, just download a custom ROM. If you want a stock-ish one try Android Revolution HD.

Since you are s-off, follow this guide to update your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154
Follow all instructions and then flash ICS/jellybean ROM. All bootloops should be gone and ROM should boot up perfectly. Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong!
