[Q] Htc sensation 1.27 hboot 3.32 help needed

Hi the girlfriend has well and truely messed up her phone so any help anyone could give would help.
Ok first off she has a htc sensation hboot 1.27 not sure if it's gb or ics but it's 3.32 so would expect it to be ics.
Is stuck s-on not rooted and had USB disabled before the issue started.
Ok the thing is its stuck at the hboot screen I can get to fastboot (USB and ac). But that's as far as it goes.
It's a stock Vodafone rom and is CID locked to uk voda.
I can't access it with adb believe me I've tried or controlbear.
I have located the correct ruu to try and reflash the phone but I get error 170 or 171 USB errors.
So I tried extracting the rom and loading it via the sd which it finds checks and then goes back to the hboot screen without any
Error message so I'm stumped as to what to do now.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help

Already tried but adb won't find the device ive tried using it on both linx and windows both fresh installs so no driver conflicts. I will point out that controlbear can reboot the phone but can't root into it. I'm stumped. Thanks anyway

give me ..the exact error you are getting i can guess the reason better
as for the fails ..i assume it is "REMOTE NOT ALLOWED" ..which happens because you have LOCKED bootloader and thus you need to unlock the bootloader first

Stil no joy can't get the unlock.bin to take. Will continue to fidle with it but have bought her a st27i for now to keep the lady happy lol

ok ive uploaded the unlock token recieved my unlock bin used fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin. and all is fine the pc side but im not getting any disclaimer coming up asking if i accept and thus it isnt unlocking

[Q] Getting Error 170 while trying to RUU to 3.18...what am I doing wrong?

As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.

Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

It seems to me like a driver issue.
if while in fastboot mode fastboot devices does not show the device, The RUU will not work.
uninstall HTC driver and HTC sync and any other phone software (for samsung or whatever else)
Install latest HTC sync
make sure fastboot devices lists your device, then run the RUU

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Alrite after removing both managers (HTC and Samsung), reinstalling, and then having to turn off debugging then turn it back on...it now sees it
HT25CW****** device (first said offline but I looked at the phone and noticed it was asking for permission).
Time to continue flashing! I think what happened is I had the universal USB drivers but then had to install KIES for my bro so it replaced them. Then installing HTC on top of that made it give up. Thanks you two! I'll post if I have any other strange issues.

Annd now when I was all set to update to his latest one he posted, H8rift goes and begins posting nightlies and I don't have to downgrade touchpanel firmware! Hahaha (I had downgraded it and was about to install)! Still, thank you guys. I'm back in business!

Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Hi timmaaa,
Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

How to relock my HTC Explorer bootloader?

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Explorer and I unlocked and rooted it few days back, later I got a strange problem that everytime I receive or make an outgoing call, my phone goes on loudspeaker automatically and anything I do, I can't make it stop. I factory reset it several times, reflashed stock ROM but nothing. Finally I decided to take it back to service center but since it's rooted, I tried to unroot it first and then relock the bootloader. I flashed back the stock recovery and then locked the bootloader but got some warnings while locking it.
Now it shows bootloader relocked but with some warnings in red color. I can't start my phone now as it goes in bootloader mode always, unlocking it again makes it work again so I am sure I am not doing something right.
Can you suggest me what I should do to make it lock properly and also if some suggestions related to loudspeaker problem, I will be really thankful.
Thanks.

Flashing an RUU is the only definitive way of *relocking* your device. And, as of why it shows *relocked* and not *locked*, I quote Rohan Pruthi (dunno if he's on XDA).
Because, its a virgin no more! no matter how much you try to show otherwise...

Thanks for your reply. I read this on so many places to flash RUU to solve this problem, unfortunately I am only have enough knowledge in Samsung area since I have S3 and never had to deal with HTC, so can you explain a bit more what's this RUU all about and where can I get it to flash on my friend's HTC?
If there are any links or something, that would be great. Thanks.

Reboot to bootloader and connect your phone to PC, and type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and paste the output here... It will be easier for me to tell which RUU you'd need then...
Else, you can search for one yourself... Only thing that the Radio version and hboot should match...
http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pico

I am not with that device now but thanks for the command, I will do that later. Hopefully I will be able to find one for my device, since it's exe file, I just need to run that once I get it downloaded?

you should have htc sync/drivers installed.
just reboot to fastboot, connect the device, and run the exe

Can you suggest me RUU for this model as shown in attached screenshot since this version doesn't seem to be exist on your suggested link?
Thanks.

[Q] Cannot soff, devunlock or anything else

Hi guys!
First of all thank you for reading.
I'm probably in my 3rd day lurking around every possible forum and thread looking for an answer to my similar problem but have yet to find one.
I used to have a sensation xe but I kinda smashed the digitizer to bits. before that the was battery swollen and the back case pretty damaged (it survived a 120 kph gps reading of an rc car before going end over end across a parking lot). Meanwhile I got an Htc One, which is superb and I kinda forgot about the old gal.
A few days back I found a guy selling a sensation for spares (the mobo was fried on his) so I just bought that (for 20 euros) and figured all I needed to to was a mobo transplant and then have a nice almost new sensation.
But obviously the digitizer is not calibrated. I found the forum with the tutorial on that but it requires super CID and Soff. Cannot do either of them.
Since the mobo has been replaced the devunlock didn't work. Cannot, for the love of me succeed with the junopunutbear soff with the wire trick. Tried it on a ubuntu live cd, all goes well up until the wire trick. On a side note, I design and build 3d printers for a living, I might be a noob in the android department but that's about it. Even tried an automatic timed relay to do the two wire taps and still nothing. Obviously, it's not working on windows, I found the kgs1992 tool which requires a version of controlbear for windows which I cannot find (found one but it doesn't recognise it when I put it in the tools folder).
tl;dr
Cannot devunlock, cannot soff, nothing. Could I possibly try changing the IMEI so that i can maybe just maybe devunlock it first? I tried putting the mobo back in the old phone, still powered up but didn't recognize the token. I'm pretty much stuck right now.
Any help would be highly appreciated and if you read the whole thing, kudos to you for standing my chatter !

i sent you a pm
also you can follow this guide which avoids wire trick

That it did, but I was under the assumption (well all the guides I read) that you need to be devunlocked in order to root it. which I can't do. Am I missing something or is this a vicious circle ?

Stuck on confirm Unlock bootloader
Ok, my phone got really messed up with TWRP format bug.
Since then, I have tried RUU, different recoveries and finally got stuck with Relocked, S-ON, no ROM, no ADB on my Sensation.
When i try to unlock via Unlock_code.bit i used earlier i am able to send it via fastboot to phone where it prompts me for a choice Yes/No.
And here is funny part.
I can select No with my power button which reboots my phone and shows white screen with bootloader after it since there is nothing on it.
But, when i press Volume up and select Yes option and Power button to confirm it, nothing happens. Actually it freezes phone and i have nothing else left to do except pulling out battery and booting to bootloader.
Since it is some kind of alive, I'm sure there is some way to revive it but I guess I'm kinda not seeing right steps to unlock it, s-off again, and custom recovery and wait for twrp team or shantur to find a sollution to fix corrupted partitions.
Can you help me with unlocking?
What logs do you need?

Well, i can certainly try and tell you what I did. Basically listen to the wonderful advice of @rzr86. Assuming you have tried many tools, you probably have the temproot utility. I just used that and Rumrunners, no wire trick no nothing, those were pretty straightforward and I finally managed to soff and supercid it. Afterwards I just installed 4ext recovery and was finally able to install whatever custom rom I wanted.
My problem however is now a different one. Cannot calibrate the touchscreen using the 58diag file. I'm using cgmod11 and if I run the calibration file, it gets stuck in bootloader. Standard RUU and it does nothing at all for the touchscreen. I'm pretty much stuck and out of ideas.
Aaaanyway, try rumrunners with temproot and get back to me with the results !

Did you had access to rom and adb to run Rumrunners utility? I have only access to bootloader and when i try to run it it hangs waiting for ADB.
Also, I'm stuck on unlock bootloader screen so probably have corrupted memory because I can't unlock it. :/

I also tried both USB2.0 and USB3.0 ports.
Like i said, I cant enable USB debugging mode in settings since i don't have ROM now, device is empty, except bootloader without recovery and I can't find way to install since I'm Relocked and S-on.

S-OFF requires a working rom so you can't use S-OFF method
with windows 8.1 you will face connectivity issues
type in search box how to set up adb/fastboot in windows 8 but the point is that you don't have enabled usb debugging mode
so i am not sure if you will have any success
by the way what version of TWRP did you flash?
the latest? (2.7.0)

I was using TWRP 2.7.0.0 which corrupted my partitions so i tried various recoveries to fix the situation without success.
So I tried to RUU and it also failed.
Somewhere along the way of trying to revive my phone, i used fastboot oem lock and now i somehow have S-ON device which is RELOCKED and I have no custom recovery. I can't even access HTC recovery now.
When i try fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev it prompts me with screen to choose YES to unlock or NO to unlock.
When i choose YES with Volume button and press Power button to confirm, device freezes and stays like that forever, or until I remove battery.
Selecting no reboots device and brings me back to bootloader.

I tried unbricking project but it hangs on start with connecting to device or waiting for device.
As I understood, it needs to access ADB which i cant succeed.
I dont have JTAG equipment so it goes to some service to see if they could repair it.
It's such a great device, i don't want to lose it so soon

[Q] Can't install cyanogen mod on HTC Sensation Z710a

Hi!
I have a HTC Sensation that I would like to put Cyanogenmod on but no matter what I do I can't get anywhere. Also I'm 100% new to installing custom ROMs/Rooting. I can't do revolutionary because my HBOOT is 1.27.0000 so I found out there is a way to unlock it from the HTC Dev site but that doesn't work either because it keeps saying 'Waiting for device'. I have seen about 5 articles that say how to fix this problem (Check drivers, change USB Port, move certain files, etc) but after trying every single one nothing has changed. One said to use HTC Sync to get the drivers but my phone can't find HTC Sync on my computer and HTC Sync can't find my phone.
I have used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 but I can't get past unlocking bootloader. Any help would be very much appreciated!!!
Thanks!

in the hboot screen if it shows only fastboot then choose fastboot from the menu when it is connecting to the pc
it will show fastboot usb after

This came up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 . Will this be ok and after installing it do I do the cmd stuff with my phone on the hboot screen or do I do something else?
EDIT: I installed it and it still says waiting for device. I will look at some other posts.
EDIT #2: Also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/tutorial-installing-adb-fastboot-t1982718 but still says waiting for device. Starting to think maybe my phone is completely against me changing the OS.

Still doesn't work. I think by now I have installed so many different programs/files trying to get it to work that they might be getting confused with each other or something. I might see if deleting all the files and starting over will help tomorrow. Thanks for the help so far!

I deleted all the files I could find that I installed and then tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646453 as well but still getting nowhere. Any ideas what might be the problem?
