Stuck at HTC Logo - HTC Sensation

Hello,
a friend of mine gave his phone and asked if I could fix it.
It was stuck on the CM10 screen, So i guessed wrong ROM image. I downloaded viper, cleared the caches, factory reset etc, installed the rom with success, but now it is on the HTC Boot screen.
I found some tutorials to flash the boot.img only but

Try enabling smartflash in 4EXT recovery > tools. yes, only 4EXT has smartflash, so you must install it if you are s-on.

It could happen that fastboot works while adb won't. Try flashing boot.img using fastboot.

If the command "adb devices" in command prompt doesn't output anything or outputs device offline, then check android SDK tools and that all the files you need are installed.
Meanwhile, did you try 4EXT recovery with smartflash?
If no, give that a go, it will probably fix your problem (flashing boot image manually is not necessary when you are flashing Roms)

Hi,
Download and install the latest HTC USB drivers, restart the PC and then again, flash boot partition manually using fastboot.

It seems that your problem is complicated. Stock software and no recovery access makes it difficult to give an appropriate advice. Maybe something wrong was flashed on this phone or the worst case - "fried" eMMC chip. You can try to search across the forum for any similar or try various solutions but I cannot advice how to proceed. Sorry

When i tried using the ruu again it showed the old version which it supposedly upgraded was still in the phone.

Hint - flash hboot 0.98.2000
After use the latest RUU 2.10.401.8
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Thanks for the quick reply. I have already tried flashing hboot_0.98.0000_361a7ba6_0310 onto it using android flasher in "fastboot usb plug" but it reboots and gets stuck at the htc logo again until i remove the battery.
Also here is what androidflasher shows me :
sending "hboot" (1024kb)...
OKAY [0.191s]
writing "hboot"...
(bootloader) image update is bypassed!

**update**
was able to flash 4ext recovery using android flasher onto my device and tried updating with the ruu again. It still gets stuck at the htc logo white background (so i painfully remove battery again) but when i try running the ruu again from my pc it shows that i have the same version as the ruu.
Still stuck at white screen. Help!!!

see the version of the bootloader
if it is still 6.98.xxxx this is you problem. Flash 0.98.2000 with PG88IMG.zip from the SDcard or try 2.00.2002 - you can find this in the forums also
linkin8k
I have the same problem and I have not found the solution up here.
can anybody tell me can i solve this by JAG?i can do jtag my self
thanks for the replies sorry i couldn't post yesterday was trying to be in a festive mood.
**my progress**
I have tried all i can to update the bootloader, from putting the pg88img file in through root of sd to update through 4ext recovery to tryin to use android flasher to put the 0.98.2000 it won't just update.
please what else can i do?? is there a hboot installer for windows for me to try??
please help AmidaBuddha u have done a lot but i still need a little help. thanks
As much as i know would be the last possible solution to replace the bootloader with dd command inside adb shell or try to flash it with fastboot (to make this the htc drivers [if you are using windows] and the android sdk with the given android plattform-tools must be installed, if some parts are not present look at the index thread)
Walkthrough:
fastboot:
reboot your device to bootloader and put it in fastboot mode
open commanline at your pc
attach device to pc
cd to the directory where the hboot.img is ( extract it from the pg88img.zip file)
Code:
fastboot devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
this replaces your current hboot with the hboot.img file, don't interrupt the process or pull the usb cable, this can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong.
dd:
put the needed .img file of the bootloader at the root of your sd (extract it from the pg88img.zip file) and rename it to hboot.img
reboot to recovery
Open commandline at your pc
attach device to pc
Code:
adb devices
(your device should show up as some letters and digits at the right of it should stand recovery, also the adb daemon is started if it wasn't running before)
adb shell
(this opens the adb command shell, from where you can execute shell commands right at your device)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
(this backups your current bootloader partition to the backup.img file)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(this replaces your bootloader partition with the boot.img)
exit
(exits adb shell)
adb reboot bootloader
(reboots your device to bootloader)
this backups your current bootloader to /sdcard/backup.img and replaces it with the boot.img, but beware this is hard stuff and be carefull, don't stop the execution of the any dd command and never pull the usb-cable while it writes your bootloader, this definitly can brick your device, i'm not responsible if something goes wrong, good luck.
Tectas thanks, see what i get using fastboot:
on command line:
c:\users>fastboot devices
SH14HTJ05*** fastboot
c:users> cd c:\temp
c:\temp>fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
sending `hboot` <1024 kb>... OKAY
writing `hboot`... INFOimage update is bypassed!
OKAY
on phone under bootloader menu:
Can not roll back hboot version
........
will try dd option now.

Bricked Sensation HELP!

I don't like starting new threads especially but I have searched and searched and not come up with an answer/problem quite the same as mine. I am not a TOTAL noob and do understand s-on, s-off, htcdev unlock etc. Here goes
I got a Sensation from a friend who acuired it from God knows when but he asked me if it can be fixed. Its currently stuck in fastboot mode. Its Locked S-OFF however NOTHING I try works. Here is some info
BOOTLOADER
*** Locked ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012,17:33:34
CID
Is already Super CID = 11111111
RECOVERY
There is no custom recovery flashed and trying to flash recovery via fastboot fails saying "remote: not allowed"
FASTBOOT COMMANDS
Fastboot commands work to get cid etc but get a "remote: not allowed" to erase or flash boot,img, any rom or any hboot or ANYTHING
BOOTLOADER FLASHING
If I try to flash a firmware file through Bootloader, it parses the P58IMG.zip but fails on Bootload saying Fail-PU Partition update failed
FLASH SHIPPED RUU
Trying a shipped ROM also fails. Goes smoothly, reads current image on phone as 1.45.401.3 but once it starts updating, it sticks in waiting for boatloader and gives ERROR[171] while phone has restarted in FASTBOOT mode
HTCDEV Unlock
I thought I would give the HTCDEV method a go even though I know this is redundant since I am already supposedly s-off but even that fails cuz no lock, unlock screen comes up. Flashing of Unlock_boot.bin goes fine
I am at a TOTAL loss now cuz since I am already S-OFF, I should have been able to flash recover or flash a rom or boot image to get phone working again. NOTHING works!!
Any ideas anyone? Apologies if this has been covered before and I couldnt find it.

Have you tried playing with fastboot commander? Mabe try formatting all partitions, then installing RUU or PG58IMG ?Or try with different RUUs? The last thing I can think of is to lock the bootloader back, and try to send it to HTC with warranty.
Even fastboot commander, the same as entering commands manually can not flash anything or erase any partition. Dead end there.

what about locking it back to s-on? did you tried it? does it "run" a custom rom ?
First off to use all the fastboot commands you need to have a eng Hboot on the device. You can not use all fastboot commands with a stock Hboot which is what the Hboot 1.27.0000 that you have is. Click on this link to download the JuopunutBear eng Hboot and follow the below instructions to flash it via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
If you still can not get the device up and going using fastboot after flashing the eng Hboot, or if the Hboot will not flash you may have screwed up partitions on the the device. There is a fastboot or a adb command you can use to get a read out of the partitions but I can not remember it right now, just google it you will find it. I mention this because of the "Fail-PU Partition update failed" message you mentioned.
If it does flash the eng Hboot then you should be able to flash a custom recovery or anything else you want to flash via fastboot. If all else fails though do as gallardo5 sayed and flash the stock ROM via RUU while in fastboot and connected to your computer via USB. Then you can try to start from scratch rooting and installing a custom recovery.

Oh yes, I should have mentioned it. I did even try flashing the JB-hboots, both GB and ICS versions. Neither worked.
It gives error on erase cache, oem rebootRUU reboots back to fastboot and then flashing fails
I think you are spot on about the partitions about being mssed up. Even if they can be read out (i saw the commands somewhere myself) can they be repaired at all?
p.s. Thanks for your help
One more thing I should have mentioned and dont know how I missed, the FASTBOOT page says *** Locked *** not *** Unlocked ***. I dont know if this can/should be changed.
I am sorry in advance if I am being silly

If you have a messed up partition you can not fix it without replacing the whole board. And about the locked in fastboot that is why your fastboot commands are not working. But the fact that you can not flash the eng Hboot sorta tells me you got a bad partition and it will not take the flash. Blackwing had the same issue with his Sensation and all the best guys I know that are over on the IRC Help Now channel could not come up with a fix and finally diagnosed it as bad partitions. Hid was the exact same it would give aerroron erase cache. Find the command to get a read out on the partitions and post the read out here.

Things I've been told to do and dont seem to make any change:
-Install 4Ext in every way possible.
-Install alternative recovery (I tried ClockWorkMod)
-Install last RUU ( I installed RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.53_Radio_11.76
A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed)

It says locked now because I installed the 3.33.40 ruu, I think that's why. It is s-off. The brick was caused by flashing some roms. it was working quite good but sudenly it stopped working and entered the bootloop. Now after flashing this ruu it keeps in the loop.
Thanks for the fast reply btw

do you mean the third option from the second link?
if yes use that pg58img.zip
it doesn't contain firmware only the recovery.img
flash it from bootloader

your device it is not bricked as long as you can enter to the bootloader
so i think it won't help
a bricked device is when it doesn't do anything at all anymore. It won't boot and doesn't respond to anything, even when it's fully charged and wall plugged. the screen will stay permanent black. So there's no point in doing the unbricking project.
Bootloop is generally caused by ROM's that are incomaptible with FW. and as long as you can't enter recovery, the bootloop is not your first concern. once you get recovery up and running you can flash a working ROM
You still can't enter recovery? And where did you download the FW? If you still can't get into recovery I suggest fasboot flashing a 4EXT recovery with the following command in bootloader:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

since you are on S-ON you have to flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
or flash 4ext recovery and enable smartflash from it before flashing the rom
as you understand in any case you need sdk tools(adb and fastboot) on your pc

What about those of us that have no USB connectivity, meaning when USB cable is connected, you get no "Fastboot USB" on the bootloader screen?
I'm S-on, so flashing recoveries from the SD card isn't possible.

Try following method 2 in this guide( through updating via PG58IMG.zip file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599816. Be carefule about the md5 checksum of the recovery image. Double check before flashing!!
After this, boot into recovery(from the bootloader menu, select appropriate superuser.zip file(for rooting, search xda ...there are many options) and flash root. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Now you can flash any custom rom.
All the above assuming you can somehow transfer files to your SD card through a card reader or any other means...
NOTE: Delete the PG58IMG.zip after flashing recovery.

Still won't work. I have tried flashing stock firmwares, stock and non-stock recoveries, reflashing root.zip, restore from known good backups, nothing has worked. Phone is stuck at first HTC logo screen and will go no further, and with no USB connectivity, it's impossible for me to flash even PG58IMGs' because the phone is S-on.
Maybe this could work for you...just a suggestion

Ok, from your reply i gather that even though you transferred the PG581MG to your SD card, the phone did not update when your got to the bootloader menu. I do not think being S-ON will prevent you from installing from the zip file...but maybe i am wrong. Hey now all i can think is this:
Turn off your phone, remove the battery, wait for some time(~10seconds), then put the battery back in. Now press Power +Vol down switch together. Now at the boot loader menu select Fastboot and press Power button. Connect your phone to your PC now and wait. The check if the next screen shows 'FASTBOOT USB'.
If you get 'FASTBOOT USB' in the next screen, then you have multiple options, but for you i would suggest that you download the latest RUU for the phone depending on your region and cid. Then run the ruu while the device is still in FASTBOOT USB mode. This will restore your phone's firmware recovery and rom back to stock.
But if your phone does not show fastboot usb then i'm stumped dude...maybe the experts here in our sensation community will be able to help out....
All the best ...and report if anything improves...
