[Q] Please, PLEASE help! HTC Sensation can only boot into recovery.

Okay so my sisters sensation would freeze up every time she got calls from certain people so I told her to let me root it. Since this is something I have done many times before I didn't think I would have any problems, but I do.
I can only boot into bootloader and then recovery. I can flash ROMs, restore, and do anything else you do in recovery, except afterwords when I choose reboot the phone just turns off and nothing happens and I can't boot into recovery for several minutes (during these minutes the phone has to be charging). I've been up for literally 5 hours, 1-6 am, trying to figure this out. Someone PLEASE help me. Seriously WILLING TO PAY for an answer that works.
Thank you.

Boot into the bootloader and then flash the RUU back to stock. If that works then perhaps try again

Hi i had similar after flashing new firmware, I hadnt renamed deleted the f/w package. this may not be your particular problem, but it is normally an oversight like this.
file name of PG58IMG.zip, if this is on root of ya sd, i do beleive it will always boot into recovery. worth a check?

I doubt that's the problem. If he forgot to remove PG58IMG.zip, then every time he boots into bootloader, it would just try to update, not prevent him from booting up the phone.
Have you tried SuperWiping first, then flashing the FW, then the ROM? I don't think this would make a difference but since you've tried FW -> SW -> ROM, can't hurt to mix it up.
EDIT: Just thought of this: did you flash a FW for your region? If not, you might need to super CID.

See my problem with super CID is the guide that I see for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 requires me to be able to actually use my phone and I screwed that up lol. I tried that fastboot method too and it didn't work. I fear I've really messed this up.

there is no RUU on my sd to flash... I don't think there is anyway..... maybe that's my problem?

Should be able to find your phones RUU in the development part of the forums.
Also most of the major Western carriers have the firmware posted on this forum. Did you download the correct one?

Download an RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 to your pc making sure it is the appropriate one for your device (give me more details if you are unsure), boot your phone into fastboot (volume down and power), plug the usb cable into your phone and pc. Your device should now say fastboot usb then double click the RUU.exe that you have downloaded to your pc. This will restore your device to stock.

So problem is the rom refuses to boot, but recovery, bootloader does?
Check whatever fw you flashed is compatible with the rom you are trying to boot. If not change one.
If this does not help then use Eddy's suggestion and run correct ruu. Make sure your CID supports the one you use, or forget this if you have superCID.
Sent from my Pyramid-T

Do what is said here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 (the superCID part) and skip steps 5,6 and 7 just boot into bootloader manually. Then, flash the firmware you need, you won't have to worry about the CID. Get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Is SafeStrap an app if so im even more stuck as the wirless is coming up error on my phone still must be the namless v1.1 still ??

Have you tried reflashing CWM via fastboot? Could just be your recovery got borked and you need to reflash recovery.
You can also try reflashing CWM via ROM Manager.
edit: Your img file might be corrupt, did you compare the MD5 sum? How are you flashing recovery?

No you don't have to do all of that,
Just download the correct CWM recovery.img file, CHECK the MD5, then flash via fastboot, you don't have to start fresh or anything.
edit:
what phone is this for?
I got that it's an HTC device running Sense 4 but we might help you find a better CWM recovery link if we know which device you're using on what carrier.

Awesome!
Glad we got you back up and running, it can be a real pain when the issue is a bad img file and you can't seem to figure out what is going on, but people need to remember to check MD5 sums for recoveries, radios and bootloaders lest they brick.
I don't think you need to upload since that link seems to work, they can just find the CWM for that phone from the link I provided and flash via fastboot from there.
Cheers bro, let us know how it's going after you flash the ROM

Yea it is, but I think it's more for Motorola devices. I don't know what HTC uses if anything different. But my phone would boot to the OS so I could still install apps via the SD card. Once I got that properly reinstalled I could access the boot menu again.
Seems like you got that issue solved by I still wanted to follow up.

[Q] Kernel and rom problem

Hi there,
Sorry for my bad english. I've looked for a answer but I don't understand all of solution :/
I'm on a mac and I have a Sensation Xe (Europe) S-On.
When I've change MIUI to Cyanogenmod. My mobil phone change the rom and bug with the kernel O_O ?
Now I got the bad Kernel for the room :S and the phone doesn't boot (stop at bootscreen).
I got the same problem if I try to install a new room by the boot loader.
At this time I want to back on the factory room and Kernel for my facility.
But the .exe of RUU doesn't work on mac (of course). And when I try on a windows; I connect the phone to the computer with boot tools but it's not work.
Sorry, I think it's not the first time someone ask this question but too much result to find the good way to do that

You need HTC driver for the phone to work on windows.
Anyway, the problem is that since you're S-On, you need to flash the kernel manually. You place it in the same directory as adb and fastboot (I don't know if you have it on mac, I guess that yes, or else use windows), and when booted to fastboot (on the bootloader), type the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the kernel of the ROM (it's inside the .zip of the ROM).
Alternatively, if you have 4EXT recovery (and if you don't, I suggest you get it), enable smartflash, and then you will be able to flash ROMs regularily.
Good luck.

Hi,
It's not possible to use 4ext, because the phone doesn't boot. he's stop at the boot loader.
I've try with adb for mac but I think I don't do the good command to flash by adb the kernel

ADB does not work, you have to use fastboot! Just follow the instructions by astar26. Connect your phone to your PC/mac and type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Hi, I'm trying to flash a Cyanogenmod ROM for a friend on his HTC Sensation Z710e (rooted, bootloader unlocked) - my own phone is an Xperia Ray so I'm not too familiar with the process. Do I need to flash the Kernel before I flash the ROM? What's the best way to do it? If it's a matter of following the process you outlined above then I'm afraid I can't really follow it - I really need an idiot-proof 'how-to' guide I'm afraid, like I said, I'm a total noob when it comes to the HTC Sensation.
Hope you can help.

astar26 explained how it works. If the sensation of your friend has 4ext recovery use smartflash, if twrp use htc dumlock then you don't need to flash the kernel seperately.

To flash a ROM on the Sensation:
Go to recovery
(Wipe. Then) flash the .zip of the ROM
That's it. There is, however, a catch for S-ON devices. HTC hasn't allowed flashing of /boot from recovery. This means that, for S-ON devices, the kernel cannot be flashed.
The best way around this is to use 4ext recovery. It has a option called Smartflash. That will flash your kernel even if you're S-ON.
(Some roms, like ViperS 3.1.x require an additional kernel flasher as SmartFlash doesn't work there).
The other way is to manually flash the boot image (kernel). Go to fastboot USB (this is NOT ADB), and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img is your new boot image.

Thanks for the reply!
We've already tried flashing the ROM as normal [using ROM Manager] but it doesn't work.
1. How do I know the device is 'S-on?' or not? Can it be changed? What's 'S-on' anyway?
2. Do you have a link handy for that recovery system you mentioned that allows flashing of kernels?
3. I haven't a clue how to manually flash the boot image - with my Xperia Ray I just use the Sony flash tool and fastboot. Can you give me an idiot's guide to doing this?

Ah, I see:
Power off and pull out the battery. Press Power + Vol down. Once the bootloader screen comes up it'll either say S-ON or S-OFF.
For flashing ROMs S-ON use this (also includes 4ext recovery). Read about S-ON here.
Just use smartflash (see link in 1). For the special cases I mentioned in previous post (no smartflash), just see the ROM's thread for S-ON flashing.
Note that if you want just want to flash ROMs the above method is good. For S-OFF, either use this, in case you followed above steps, or use this, in case you want to S-OFF first. S-OFF is not needed for flashing ROMs.

htc sensation z710e wifi problem
Hello friends!
Two months I have a problem with my HTC SENSATION! The problem is due to wifi,I read many forums about this problem, I tried many solutions, but without success! I assumed that the problem is due to "wifi country code". I tried this solution "WiFix Manager", but did not help.
I tried this option http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469428,
because my phone is unlocked with HTCdev, back to factory rom 2.3.3 hboot 1.17.11 to be able to achieve S-OFF method revolutionary s-off.
I did everything, but after a while the problem still occurs. The only way to fix it is by re-install the Rom again.Most often breaks when I restart phone while is connected to the wifi network,when my phone starts, this wifi error appears.I can not write scripts or fix them, so I can not do this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368501 . My phone is from England, Orange UK is the operator of which is purchased,I do not know if there is any difference!? And now my phone is rooted, revolutionary s-off, got super CID, 4ext recovery....
What else do I need to have no more this wifi problem?
I'm not very good at Development or haking, so if someone can explain to me what to do to solve my problem, I would appreciate it!
I just want to install "Revelation 1.0.3" and only use it! I am from Bulgaria by the way.

I think I finally found the solution to the wifi problem!
The solution is in this post:

When you delete a file "wpa_supplicant.conf", I have to re-enter all the router's password which I linked, but this is not such a big problem!

[Q] HTC one S brick

Hello,
I'm new here but today I tried to root my phone and put CM10 on it. Rooting was not that hard but with flashing the rom I had some problems. I used a tutorial from youtube "Htc One s jellybean 4.2.2 Nightly Cm10.1 Rom" and did everything as he said but when I tried to boot CM it came in a boot loop so I restored my backup and everything was back normal again. But I thought i'll give it another try so I did that and it still didn't work so I restored (via recovery) and at the end it said: It appears your phone isn't rooted do you wanna do it now...(or something like that)? I found that a bit strange but I clicked yes but now if I boot up my phone first you just see "HTC - quietly brilliant" and then the red letters come beneath it saying its a developers version. I Couldn't do anything so I jumped into my bootloader and did factory reset but now everything is gone and I still have that booting problem,
I can acces bootloader and recovery mode but that's it
I really need my phone soon and don't have much time to look on the internet for solutions so could you please help me?
Thanks in advance!!

Do you have the RUU for your phone? Maybe that would be the quick fix to take it back to stock. You can use an RUU that's equal or newer than what you have currently.
BTW: I went through this as well.

BTW: I went through this as well.

Which hboot version and radio?
Cm10 uses 3.4.x kernel, it won't boot with old firmware

Hboot : 2.15.000

Then it can be a bad download. If not I I'm out of ideas

Do you remember doing any of the following?
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe dalvik cache
I think that was my problem that I didn't wipe the cache completely. Possibly a bad download too. Do a search on md5. It's basically a check to see if your download is ok before flashing.
As far the RUU is concerned, it will take you back to stock. You will need the info that appears when you start the phone up by holding down VOL DOWN and POWER. Hold down volume down, then press the power for a second or 2. Then it will boot up into HBOOT.
Write down the info that appears and search for a matching RUU equal or newer.
What is the carrier???

I did the factory reset, dalvik cache and cache wipe. When I tried to install CM it indeed said unable to find md5 or something like that.
I think I have a europe version and looked for fitting RUU but the numbers are completely different maybe you could find a good RUU? (See attachement) Btw I have S4/Ville/Z520e

CID
Could you please read out your CID? Then we can get right RUU.
You can do this by booting your One S into fastboot mode and use the toolkit from the link:

MAY anyone who reads this confirm it? Just to be safe at all.
btw. "HTC_E11" = unbranded Netherlands
Due to you're S-ON you will have to relock your bootloader to perform a RUU update.

For RUU you need stock recovery and "locked" BL. Please read the guide again and only proceed, if you're sure you got it.
Another question:
You said you got a working recovery? Which version do you use? And have you tried install another custom rom.zip? That would be more easy and safe to you. May be your storage got corrupted and thats why your phone crashed and you can't install the rom.zip stored on the sd-card. You could connect the phone to your pc as mass storage via recovery, format it and put a new customrom.zip on it. By the way, why you installed such an old rom? You can use CM11 for sure

In that guide it doesn't say anything about a relocked bootloader.
I do have a working recovery but how can I get a zip file on it? I can't acces the files of my phone in windows explorer or something like that. Also I don't know if I have a stock recovery but if I don't I have to install that via a zip but how can I get that on my phone...?

PLS boot in recovery mode and tell me what "version" it is You should find it. If you're not sure about it, you can flash a new recovery before installing a rom. Whe you have a working custom recovery you can mount your sd-card to your computer via recovery.

[Q] Help: stucked TAMPERED LOCKED S-ON

Hi guys, a few day ago my One SV had some problems, rebooting itself and runs very slowly; so i tryed to do something like root it, but not knowing what i'm doing 'cause i don't have much time.
Probably installing a wrong rom, now I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags.
The phone stuck with htc logo, i only manage to go into bootloader, pdanet gives me sync error, twrp recovery doesn't work anymore.
Is there something I can do now?

As long as your device is Locked, you can't flash a custom recovery.
So unlock your device at htcdev.com, flash Twrp recovery and flash back a working rom.
Use a Android 4.1.2 rom, otherwise you will have problems with noisy sound.

How do you mount the sd?
At least pull it out of your device and put it into your PC and copy needed files in this way.
One thing i could not solve earlier (because of bad internet connection): did you already install the Android 4.2.2 update or what was your software running on your device before? Thats important to give you the right rom for your firmware!
I'll give you the links anyway:
4.1.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254384
4.2.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742
Rumrunner & moonshine are confirmed working for your hboot, but which you should use at least also depends on your previous software.

Im sorry That error is from the twrp recovery when i try to install superuser.. It says unable to mount int sd.. I think internal memory

Ignore it. Only use the files, recommended in my index thread (use SuperSu, not Superuser), link in my signature.
And answer the other question.

Sorry i had update it to 4.2.2

Ok, so you can use the second link for the stock rom. And rumrunner for S-off.

I installed the 4.2.2 versions, seems completed but phone remains with black screen showing only the top bar with the clock, then reboot itself; sometimes after reboot it shows the bottom clock and lock, you can also unlock it, but then it reboots;
One time it shows me the backgroud.
Maybe it's a motherboard problem, what do you think?
Thanks

Have you flashed the boot.img with fastboot? Did you wipe everything before?
May give the 4.1.2 rom a try.

Stop. Did you only wipe data/cache/dalvik.
No system?
You need to wipe all, except internal & external sd!

Also system yes. And if i wiped the internal sd?
anyway after installing the rom, from twrp internal storage is 0 MB

Then i'm running out of ideas
As the roms worked for other people, i also start thinking thats something bugged with your device.
You checked md5sum of the roms? Using latest TWRP recovery?

the recovery say to me no md5 file, is this the problem?
How can I check the md5 now?

I don't know the name of the tool (i'm at work), but you will find it with google search, i think.
In recovery this is not a problem, its only to check on your pc, if the downloaded file is the same as the upload.
