Hi. I don't think it's brick'd.
Well, I finally didn't know fastboot did its job or did it fail?!
Anyway, s-off won't revert to s-on, so you still have it. In this case, you should be able to change your hboot and things; download this file, put in root of your SD, boot into bootloader and confirm the update using the volume up key.

By the way, what kinda bootloop do you encounter? Splashscreen or thw ROM bootanimation?

you have to be on S-OFF again in order to use that pg58img.zip file from bootloader
what to do now is unlock your bootloader again
flash 4ext recovery
flash a custom rom from it(enable smartflash before flashing rom)

(If you haven't) unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery (I recommend 4ext) and do a full system wipe except sdcard. Then flash a rom that you have tried before anew and see what happens. And don't worry, it's real hard to brick s-on phones.

Hi guys, i have a problem with my Sensation, OTA ICS update giving me boot loop
So here's the story:
I used custom ROM, then decided to go back to stock ROM
Flash RUU 2.3.4 then S-on, all seems normal at this point
OTA update a few times to ICS
First few update phone still normal, then ICS update and boot loop
Now the main problem:
I can't seem to do anything anymore to the phone
Phone is locked with HBOOT 1.27.000
When I try to go to recovery or factory reset it just goes to boot screen and boot loop
Steps I have tried:
Try to install RUU again by renaming zip file to PG58IMG.zip and it just says version is outdated (or similar, I forgot)
Try to flash various firmware using bootloader, but it just says parsing zip file then nothing
Try to flash firmware using CMD (flash zip) with admin privilege, but it says not allowed
Try to flash recovery img (Stock, CWM, 4ext), using CMD it says OK but nothing changes
Try to flash boot img (Stock, customs from Revolution HD 6.6.7) it says OK but nothing changes
Unlocked bootloader using HTCdev then retried all the steps above still the same
Please help, I don't know what else I can do...
Sorry if too long and confusing...
If your at the boot loader then it look like you can access fastboot. If you can there is a program called android flasher ( for windows computers and can be found in the sensation thread here on xda, if not i can upload it to dropbox for you). You can flash img's from there. Also make sure to read all instructions carefully because the Htc dev unlock has issues with bootloaders (BE CAREFUL), the revolutionary method is better, and give you a full unlock.

Hey Darryll, thanks for the response
I tried the android flasher, but when I tried to flash boot.img, it says error, your phone needs ENG bootloader.
I don't thinkI can use the revolutionary method tight now, because my hboot is already at 1.27.000
Do you know what might be causing the boot loop for my phone?

you have bootloop because your rom is gingerbread and now you have ics firmware
just flash an ics or jb rom from recovery
make a nandroid first just in case
by the way what firmware did you use because i see you have the official hboot version
did you use the one from the link that Mile_zdr provided you?

since you are on S-OFF you don't need to unlock the bootloader
but if you flash the 3.33 universal firmware that Mile_zdr told you you will have also a patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
what recovery do you have?

hi guys, ill try and keep it as brief as poss.
Phone was rooted working fine, dropped the phone and cracked the screen so sent for repair. Repair shop returned it back to stock :/
Left phone stock and working fine for a couple of months, accidentally let phone fully discharge and think it damaged the battery. Bought a new battery but the phone just boot loops. Can get into Hboot but when i choose recovery it just starts boot looping again. In a panic i flashed a 3.33 firmware but made no difference. Can someone give me a step by step how to sort? thanks!!
Phone says :
-firmware- 3.33-
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot 1.27.1100
emmc-boot
Im guessing its also locked because when i do the oem lock in command prompt its saying device is locked. cheers all.

If i connect fastboot-usb and use the command prompt to flash a recovery i get (error-partition doesnt exist!!)
Can i put any recovery on the sd card and somehow load it without using the recovery option?

Thanks mile_zdr. My Bad. Looks like it wrote ok (writing "recovery" ... OKAY) when i reboot and choose recovery option it still boot loops. :/ maybe im flashing the wrong recovery? Should any sensation recovery work?
Edit : Just flashed the sensation clockwork mod recovery successfully but still getting the boot loop when i hit recovery in the boot loader.

then try again with recovery

Thank you so much guys, think im beggining to understand it now. I have 1 more massive favour. Im struggling to find the right ruu for my phone, can someone point me in the right direction please?
since you are on S-OFF change your cid to supercid and choose any ruu you want
also remove your imei and serial number
don't show them in public
but i noticed something else
how in the hell you have ics hboot version with gingerbread firmware?

Thats a very good question rzr86 I think i have found the right ruu but i could only find one with a firmware base of 1.73 and my phone is currently 3.33. does it matter or will have to somehow downgrade my firmware to match the ruu?

I found the stock rom for my phone, double clicked the .exe and it went through all the loading process and installed the stock ruu onto my phone but the problem i started with is still there. If i turn the phone on it just goes to the htc logo and then reboots. If i hold power + vol down then pick recovery it does the exact same boot loop. thanks for your help!! :good:
