[Q] Sensation will not load past the splash screen... - HTC Sensation

I am hoping that I can find help out there. My phone will not load past the splash screen.
Over the last few days I have been trying to install a custom rom on my phone. I thought I was on the right track and now I have flashed it but it will not go past the splash screen. I would be grateful for any advice on how to get my phone back functioning. I would even be happy to have it back stock.
So my movements over the last few days have been as follows:
1) HTC DEV unlocked the bootloader
2) Used Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-in-one to flash CWM.
3) Then the same tool to copy Prem Root onto the SD card and installed it via CWM.
4) Then used this post here to install JB Miui - http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
Then when I rebooted it is stuck on the Miui splash screen.
At every stage I felt like things worked well and now I have that sad feeling in my stomach because I have just realized how vital my phone is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did u flash boot.img after u flashed the rom? Did u full wipe before flashing the rom? Also with s-on users its recommended to use 4ext recovery and in recovery, enable smartflash.

Where can I find information about boot.img - so that is a no. I am installing 4ext now.

ok, so I have been looking at the boot.img part and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI
I have followed it but still am not having any luck.
Still very lost.

open rom.zip and search for the boot.img
probably it is located in the kernel folder
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
now boot your device to the bootloader and connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen it should say fastboot usb)
in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files open a cmd window and do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
done

as suggested before it is better to have 4ext recovery
and before flashing any rom enable smartflash from it(for S-ON devices)
smartflash it does exactly what i said above

[Q] HTC Inspire 4G ATT stuck hboot 0.85 / S-On / Bootloader unlocked

Devs,
After navigating through our forums, I need help if you don't mind me asking.
Have AT&T Inspire 4G and unlocked bootloader but i'm still S-On. I also have CWM however I cannot boot to OS. I've tried installing the RUU via PC and SD card and to no avail. SD card reads the file but does not install. I tried both the Radio and full blown OS in zip form.
I can only get to hboot /fastboot menu and CWM. I'm S-On and Bootloader unlocked.
When i tried to install via RUU stock rom in hboot usb, i get the error message battery is not 30% yet the battery if fully charged.
When i tried to install via RUU stock rom in fastboot usb, it errors out and HTC black screen come up. I unplug the usb cable and fastboot says updated failed.
I cannot update OS so i'm not sure if i need to relock bootloader to install ruu or if there's another method to getting past this.
Thank you
I'm not sure if you tried to flash a zip from recovery. If so, did you flash the boot.img from fastboot?

Hi
Yes, if you mean placing the PD98IMG.zip file on the main directory of the storage card yes, I did try that. When hboot comes up, it looks like it loads it but doesn't. I've tried updating the radio, stock rom via zip and stock rom via ruu. nothing has worked.
do you think i need to relock by bootloader (i hope not) and then try to run the run?
Funny thing is, when i'm in hboot, i run the ruu stock roms via exe and they all say i'm below 30% battery life which is not the case. I then switch to fastboot usb and then the ruu exe tries to install but errors out on the phone
i'm at a loss now. Right now, I can get to hboot, fastboot, clockwork mod but that's it. the hboot i think is for gingerbread that i'm on.
need some direction if anyone has any thoughts.

I also don't know if i can go s-off (not sure what good that will do) while only have access to hboot / fastboot menus.
No, I mean flashing a custom ROM zip from ClockworkMod.

Yes, I tried to install 4 different custom roms using clockwork mod. They all ran through installation but never booted up.
I'm s-on so I'm not sure if I can install a custom rom
Also, now when I try to install a custom rom or different radio I get signature error message in clockwork mod
Right, so did you flash the boot.img from fastboot after you flashed the ROM?

Ok just so I'm clear, are you saying first install custom rom in clockwork mod, reboot I to hboot/fastboot then flash the P98IMG file?
I have not been able to flash the boot image in clockwork mod or hboot/fastboot. Clockwork mod gives me the signature error and now so does custom rom
Can I flash a custom rom with s-on?
No. I am saying, flash a ROM with CWM, then fastboot flash the boot.img. The boot.img is extracted from the ROM zip. Pull it out, then "fastboot flash boot boot.img." That is how you flash a ROM with S-On and unlocked bootloader. Look in the Ace Think Tank thread in he Desire HD forums for more detailed information.

Ok so I flash the custom rom in cwm then extract the boot image from the custom rom zip and put it on the sd card drive main directory? Do I need to rename the boot image or leave it as is when boot to fastboot?

No, the boot.img needs to be on the computer where you're running fastboot from. Run fastboot from the computer from the folder holding the boot.img, while your phone is in fastboot mode. Did you read the Ace Think Tank? It has very clear instructions.

It's not a "think tank process." The Ace Think Tank is a thread full of info about rooting and flashing an Ace (HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G) device. Included in it is information about flashing custom ROMs to an S-On, unlocked device, which is what you need. And yes, that process lets you flash the boot.img from the computer to the phone via fastboot over USB.

Thank you! Where is this treasure of knowledge you refer to and let's hope it's not a dogpile if threads and countless steps to take to flash the I inspire. Btw now I see that why I was not clear on what you were referring to. I assumed one process when you were talking this think tank one.

Here is my checklist
Flashing roms with an unlocked bootloader S-On.
****This ASSUMES that you have installed HTC drivers and have setup and tested ADB and FASTBOOT.
• Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
• Download the ROM zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
• Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
• Put the [ROM].zip file on /sdcard
• Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.
• wipe data/factory resent
• wipe cache
• wipe dalvik cache
• Flash ROM from recovery (install zip from /sdcard)
• Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
• You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
• Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located - example [C:\]
• Type: > fastboot flash boot boot.img
• Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom

Bricked my phone trying to update to 4.2! Help!

Hello, all. I've spent the last four hours trying update my AT&T HTC One X running Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 and I failed hard!
First, I used the all-in-one toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash clockwork recovery, and root the phone. The first guide I was following gave me error status 7 when I tried to flash the ROM so I wen to this guide:
update-htc-one-x-cm101-android-422-jelly-bean-custom-firmware/2/ (from team android website)
I got to the step below using the SDK I downloaded from dev.android.com and now my phone is dead! The HTC logo appears and then it goes to a black screen. Luckily, I can still reach my fastboot and clockwork recovery menu but nothing I try makes the phone boot.
Step 8 - Type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 9 - Then, type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot reboot
I just want my phone back to normal please! I don't care about rooting anymore. Thank you.

Alright, the ROMs you've been trying to flash are for the quad core One X... please stay in this forum and you should be good to go!
Any ROMs and kernels from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1726. Try to flash something from there and report back (you'll still need to flash boot.img

4.2 with minor tweaks sounds great! Although right now I kinda just want to the stock "boot.img" to verify that my phone is still usable and not totally bricked.

Quick update...I flashed boot.img of the first link (CynogenMod) and my phone got passed the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen! But now it seems stuck on HTC One (Beats Audio at the bottom) screen. I'll give it a few minutes...
I'm really worried that I did major damage to my phone in the bootloader and clockwork recovery menus. I literally tried every single option there trying to get my phone to boot earlier.
Oh man...it seems stuck. Maybe I should just flash the completely stock boot.img file. If that works, I will factory reset my phone just to make sure everything is back to how it was before.
Dude it sounds like you're trying to flash a cm boot.img with a Sense ROM, that ain't gonna work. You can't just extract a boot.img and flash it with a different ROM.
You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM you're about to flash, then flash that ROM, then flash the boot.img you just extracted.

Thanks for your help man. If what you're saying is correct, does that mean my phone is hopeless? I deleted/wiped everything using the ClocworkMod Recovery menu. When I choose "install zip from sdcard" I get "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" and when I try to mount an sdcard I get "Error mounting /sdcard". I don't think I can flash any ROMs right now unless install zip from sideload is an option (I don't know how sideloading works).
Try using TWRP recovery instead, you'll find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
Download it, check md5 is correct, then:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
(Filename = exact TWRP recovery filename)
Then issue this command:
fastboot erase cache
Then:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to select recovery on your phone screen and it should boot into TWRP. Next go to mount and mount usb storage. See if it comes up in Windows, it might need to be formatted from the sounds of it. If it doesn't show up as a usable drive, format it to fat32.
Once that's done you should be able to copy a ROM to your phone to flash. So copy it over, then extract the boot.img from the copy on your pc, then put the boot.img in your fastboot folder.
Do a full wipe in recovery (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system), then install the ROM, then reboot to bootloader, make sure phone is connected by usb, make sure fastboot usb comes up on your phone screen then issue the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Make sure it's the boot.img from the ROM you just flashed. Now once that's done you should be able to reboot into the ROM.

I couldn't sleep...so I followed your steps and my phone is now alive! Thank you!
I think now I need to flash GApps, right? I have this ---> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Any chance that's the wrong zip file? Do I need a special one for CM10.1?
That's the right gapps zip, it's the most recent one so yeah you're good to flash it.
And no problems, you're welcome

Assuming you have a working adb setup installed on your pc (if not follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148)
1. connect your phone to pc
2. extract the boot.img of your roms .zip file and place it in your platform-tools folder (or where fastboot is located on your system)
3. type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (on your phone it should read "fastboot usb")
4. type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. when finished type "fastboot reboot"
and you are ready to go.
Remember since you are s-off, there is no need to have smartflash enabled, so disable it in your recovery...

Bootloop (S-ON/No Recovery) :(

Hello,
I have a big problem with my old HTC Sensation.
I tried nearly everything out of other topics, but nothing worked....
The story: Suddenly my Sensation rebooted and from then on it is stuck in an endless bootloop.
The bad thing is, that it was stock/S-ON at this moment.
Informations about the phone:
***UNLOCKED***
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
Radio: 11.24A.3504.31_M
-> I am able to install RUUs (3.33), but after installation i am still in the bootloop
-> I am able to unlock/relock the bootloader
-> I can install a recovery via fastboot, but can't boot into it => bootloop
Maybe you have got a hint to bring the Sensation back to life.
Thank you!
Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to do stuff. Most of the HTC Sensations have a HBOOT version that causes bootloops when flashing roms because their kernel doesn't seem to install properly when flashing roms. The ROM should consist of a file inside the zip, usualy in the kernel folder or in the root of the zip that is called boot.img. That is the kernel. First of all, you need to download the tools that have the fastboot and drivers included. Then unzip all of the contents into a folder. Run and install the drivers that that have come in the folder. Then go into the fastboot and adb folder. Shift rightclick onto the empty space of the folder and click open command window here. Then boot your phone into bootloader mode. You can do this using power button and volume down while your phone is off. Once youre in fastboot mode, navigate to fastboot using up and down volume keys. Then press the power button. Plug in your phone to your computer using your HTC sync cable. Then in the adb and fastboot folder, copy your roms boot.img into the folder. Then in the command window, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' without the quotation marks. It should say sending and then writing. The process should take no longer than 20 seconds. Once done, restart your phone. Wolla, your rom should now be working properly!

actually he can't even boot to the recovery in order to flash any rom
so what's the point of flashing the boot.img manually?
You can use Sensation all in one kit v3 to unlock boot loader, read this thread for more detail

Thank you for your ideas!
But unfortunattly i tried most of the things.
@ kevinspl2000
I think normaly the RUU would also install the Boot Image.
But I also tried to manualy flash the boot.img out of the RUU via fastboot, but no success.
I am not able to flash a Custom ROM, because of no Recovery...
@stripeqn
The point is that I am not able to boot to Recovery...
I can flash the Recovery via fastboot, but I am not able to boot into it.
I tried different versions of CWMR and 4EXT but no success...
When I click on recovery, it just shows the HTC Logo and bootloop again

I think I have a solution. When I installed my custom recovery at first, I also got bootloops when trying to go into the recovery. What I did, is I refalshed the recovery, and then did fastboot erase cache. It wipes all of the cache, and fixed my bootloop before. Try that and see how we get on...

I erased the cache before and after flashing recovery.

Black screen after flashing a new rom

Hello, I had a MIUI ROM and I flashed a new version , doing the wipes and flashing it, but after the reboot, I see the HTC logo and nathing else, only the black screen.
In my bootloader appears "unlocked", saga pvt ship s-on rl, hboot 2.00.0002.
I tried to flash others ROMs and it happens the same, black screen after the HTC logo.
Thank you.
Did u flash the boot.img after flashing the roms? Since ur s-on u need to flash a rom then boot straight into bootloader and flash the boot.img then reboot. The boot img is inside the rom zip.

Can you tell me how to do it? I read something about that but I don't know how to do it.
I had the same problem today but the flash fixed it.

The Linux / ubuntu method
I had the same problem and followed the advice of the previous post this is how I did it:
1. First I made sure the fastboot programme was in my home directory
2. Then using a compression program I extracted the boot.img file from the "cm-11-20141214-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip" rom. I also extracted it to my home directory (same directory as the fastboot program)
3. After installing the Rom and Gapps on my phone via TeamWin Recovery I immediately rebooted into the bootloader. and selected fastboot
4.I connected the phone via usb cable to my laptop.
5.On my laptop I opened a terminal for commandline
6. I entered the following command:
"sudo /home/simon/fastboot flash boot boot.img"
After the flash was successful I rebooted and CM11 is now working. I suppose the windows meathod follows similar principles.
Or use fastboot adb on windows.

I'm totally unable to make it works. I have the "waiting for device" message, I'm reading tutorials but nothing works.
