[Q] HTC All in one toolkit <device not found> HELP! - HTC Sensation

Hey guys,
It was freaking hard to unlock the bootloader and S-OFF my htc sensation. But I was successful in doing it. I've using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233.
When I first unlocked snesation, I S-OFFed it but then the bootloader showed LOCKED again, even though the guide says it should say Unlocked. (I unlocked it correctly the first time). So I Unlocked it again... i found no other way.. Then it showed Unlocked.
As of now, it shows...
-Firmware-3.33-
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
eMMC-BOOT

Additional info:
I used adb and fastboot through Mac while I'm using HTC Toolkit from Windows. If thats the prob how to I fix it?
I've tried a lot! I put 5 hours on this but failed!
Help would be seriously appreciated!!!

Are you trying to flash recovery? Do you have adb fastboot setup on your PC? You can flash recovery via fastboot from your PC.

Yes, I'm trying to flash a recovery to flash a custom ROM.
ADB fastboot is setup.
Could you send me a good guide for flashing via fastboot. I'll try it and update you. Should I just put the recovery file in to the fastboot folder and use the fastboot command?

Yes, put the recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot folder, boot ur phone into fastboot then plug in ur phone to computer and it should say FASTBOOT USB. Then in the fastboot folder, hold shift - right click - open command window here. Then type -
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You now should have recovery installed

You're S-off I guess? You're already rooted as root is a prerequisite for S-off. Download app root checker from play store and check your root status. It should say rooted.

I've been looking around at different forums to see how to get my phone back to normal and there many ways to do it and I'm stuck.I'm able to use clockwork recovery,able to use fastboot but SD card is mounted and has an error everytime I try unmount , been trying to use the command propmt not that experienced I need some guidance to how to get another rom on phone
Try to flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" and flash a RUU.
Then try again from the beginning

Open cmd prompt. Navigate to folder where your fastboot program is (i.e. c:\android is where I put mine).
Plug in phone, boot into bootloader and click power to access fastboot.
Type in the "fastboot OEM lock" command in command prompt as suggested by torxx and that will relock the bootloader. Then flash ruu in bootloader

Once u relock bootloader, you are done with command prompt... I think. I havemt done it on this phone, but usually you put ruu on root of sdcard (internal in this case) and reboot into bootloader and the ruu should begin flashing from there. Make sure its named properly. I'm sure there are threads regarding this

Once you've installed the RUU, use ADB to push 4ext recovery, then reboot into recovery and flash the Supervisor 3.1.3 file - once you then reboot into the full system again you will have root access and can install the 4ext updater from the Play Store and update recovery to the latest version.

Simon your DS was S-ON and you got it S-OFF with this procedure.
You pushed the 4ext recovery on a S-ON bootloader, right?

For the people, like me, who have only done the HTCdev unlock ( S-ON ), it's quite easy to update the software/ROM using the RUU.
After downloading the RUU from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857478 I just immediately ran it, but it failed with an error along the lines of : RUU, security fail! update fail!
So after a bit of googling around I figured that the RUU might simply not be happy with the phone being in an unlocked state, so after doing the following the RUU ran successfully :
1. Re-lock the bootloader with the "fasboot oem lock" command. The output after running the command shows the lock process was successful but moaned about something else failing, still not sure what that was. So after doing this my phone was kinda stuck in the bootloader, where it says ***relocked*** at the top and ***security warning!*** right underneath it. Everytime I reboot or powercycle it would just boot straight back into the bootloader with the warnings, which worried me a little bit.
2. In the bootloader I selected fastboot and connected the USB cable, and then I ran the RUU again. This time it completed successfully after some time. My HTC sync was installed but not running, so seems like that isn't even needed ?
And that's actually it. This process obviously puts the phone in a relocked state, and an overall factory configuration, it also restores the recovery ROM to the factory image or whatever.
No success
Hi,
I try to root my S-off /XTC Clip/ device, BUT:
1. 4ext pushed with adb - OK
2. I try to install recovery - 4ext wants busybux
3. I downloaded busybox - but it wants a rooted devices I got a message that "unrooted device" and busybox is closed
So I don't have recovery menu
What could be the solution ?

Read the instructions correctly. Install RUU. Put phone into FastBoot mode. Use ADB to push recovery to phone. Reboot into recovery. Flash superuser from zip. Reboot phone properly. Install BusyBox from Play Store.

I am out from QHSUSB but can't flash recovery!

Hello,
I do not know how but my phone get out from QHSUSB and now I can go to hboot.
The problem is there is no ROM when the phone boots. It's stuck on HTC logo.
I have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV but it is not S-OFF. Hboot is 1.18.
When I go to fastboot I can write "fastboot flash.... recovery.img" and it goes OK, but after restars bootloader I tried to go to recover but the phone just stuck on that logo again.
I have tried CWM and 4EXT but it is the same problem.
Can I flash RUU without recovery and ROM?
Help, please!

Normaly RUU (Rom Update Utility) is an exe that you can run from PC to bring a ROM or ROM update to your device. As far as i know.
Where did you find this three commands?
May you could post you question to the Unbrick thread to, i´m sure that there are people that can help better as i can, because i´m a Themer and not a Developer. ;D

Can you boot your device into Bootloader by pressing Volume Down+Power Button. If yes put the PG58IMG.zip on SD Card and Boot into Bootloader, normaly the device will flash the P58IMG.zip if you start into Bootloader.

Okay, normaly the device should flash Firmware (P58IMG) when booting in bootloader. You sure that you put it directly to SD and not in a folder. PLS ask in the Unbrick thread, there are a lot of people that are more fit in developing as i am. I telled you what i´m knowing. Sorry that i couldnt help you to bring your device back to life but maybe there are people that can help. Give it a try pls.
You got the fastboot command wrong, its:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In any case you cant flash a firmware with S-ON that why the unbrick thread says find an RUU exe and run it

Flashing an RUU is a must after unbrick.
The error you got wile flashing the RUU is because your bootloader is unlocked.
Relock your bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, flash an RUU.
If you can paste the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
then I can provide you with a link to the appropriate RUU for you.
Please remove your IMEI & Serial Number from the output.

Yup. Just put the phone into fastboot & flash.
You need the one that is for your device. PG13001 is Sensation XE & PG13000 is Sensation.
You said your mid is PG58130 so I gave you both.
Choose the right one for your device.
================================================
You will also need to unlock your bootloader after flashing the RUU if you want to flash recovery.

Cant install new recovery

Hi, ive been trying to S-off and root my HTC sensation using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233
ive managed to get up to step 2, but unable to flash a new recovery using instructions in this guide and also whilst trying kgs utility…. Im pulling my hair out tbh been at it for hours…
so basically, I unlocked my phone, then have got s-off..but now cant get new recovery to get rooting.
when I use the utility in theafore mentioned guide. It either cant find device or just hangs. When I use the kgs utility, it looks promising until I get the message the system cannot find the bacth label specified - dl_4ext_found
any ideas?
try this
boot your device into bootloader
connect your device into pc via usb(it should say fastboot usb)
now in your pc place the recovery.img in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window in that folder and do this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

hmm ok,
do you have htc drivers installed?
also check if you are using 2.0 usb ports
enable also usb debugging mode
edit:i just inform you also that the recovery can be renamed as recovery.img
i mean when you perform the command do it like this
fastboot flash recovery <the name of recovery>

that's why you couldn't perform the command
if i remember well after S-OFF an unlocked bootloader goes again locked
but there was no need to unlock it again
you could use an eng hboot(juopunutbear) which is unlocked

Hi,
Yes.
Copy to the root of your sd card.
Flash like a ROM.

thanks gents
hmm, i think i must be doing this wrong guys. it thought I flashed the recoevery ok, but then when i hit powerdown on the recovery option, it goes to an HTC logo for a while, then i see my vodafone logo etc and then have a clean install of the orginal rom i guess.
Where am i going wrong?
Many thanks
hey man u just saved my life lol

try this
boot your device into bootloader
connect your device into pc via usb(it should say fastboot usb)
now in your pc place the recovery.img in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window in that folder and do this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

My htc sensation was just rebooting couldnt get into recovery, i had clockwordmod recovery, i thought i lost my phone, i searched on xda and saw ur post, and i fixed my phone thnx to you,
So just wanted to say thank you very much.

Cannot flash another recovery please help

BACKGROUND INFO: I am trying to install color os rom using twrp recovery and it gives me "failed" when i flash it. I have heard that if you use CWM recovery it will work. i have installed TWRP recovery using toolbox that i downloaded from XDA. when i went back to toolbox to install CWM recovery it told me to boot into fastboot mode and I did. i also clicked attached devices under adb options and it gives my device number in CMD. when i select CWM recovery in toolbox and i hit flash it says make sure your device is in fastboot mode and i clicked ok. then it said within a few seconds your device will boot selected recovery and CMD pops up and it says FAILED. DEVICE NOT UNLOCKED CANNOT FLASH OR ERASE. i think this is because bootloader is locked but when i hit unlock boot loader in toolbox it says make sure your device is in fastboot mode and when i click ok, CMD pops for a second, then it closes and my device reboots immediately to TWRP recovery. also my device is ROOTED. i am able to install other ROMS such as mahdi and rom from OP. someone said that if i flash philz recovery.zip using TWRP recovery i will be able to install color os but still the same error. now i am stuck with philz recovery and i am unable to flash other recoveries. someone said that it is the oem lock and i went to CMD and typed fastoot oem unlock while my device was in fastboot mode and it said OK in cmd and the device booted right into philz recovery and still i am not able to flash another recovery. i went to CMD and typed fastboot oem device-info and it said device tempered- true, bootloader unlocked- false, charger screen enabled- false. I DONT KNOW IF ITS LOCKED BOOTLOADER, THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO UNLOCK, OR OEM LOCK, WHICH I TRIED TO UNLOCK AND IT SAID OK IN CMD, THAT IS NOT ENABLING ME TO FLASH BACK TO TWRP OR STOCK RECOVERY BECAUSE I HAVE MY ROM BACKUPS IN TWRP. PLEASE HELP ME TO GO BACK TO TWRP RECOVERY OR ANY RECOVERY.
Firstly, use paragraphs. Secondly, ditch the toolbox. Issue this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
What's the output?

Your bootloader is indeed locked. You can unlock it:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This will erase all user data on the device.

Agreed with the paragraphs. OP did post the output of device-info in his OP post.
Calm down op, no need to use caps lock. Okay so anyways,
Do what timmaaa said, if that doesn't work try the following,
Do you have a copy of TWRP on your computer in the fastboot.exe folder? http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/bacon download 2.7.1.1
Go into fastboot mode, type in fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-bacon.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912
adb sideload that, then unlock your bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) in fastboot mode. then your phone will probably reboot, get into bootloader mode again then type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-bacon.img and you will permanently flash twrp

i tried it nothing happens. the phone reboots into recovery and nothing erases. read my issue first. i already mentioned this. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I TYPE FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. IT SAYS OK. THEN THE PHONE BOOTS INTO RECOVERY AND NOTHING IS DELETED.

Yes. You are lucky dude. I can't unlock my bootloader.
So, I am the "lucky" one too
I did facktory reset and full wipe as I wanted to install back the CM11s, but I ended up in the "bricked" One :crying:
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
The command: fastboot oem unlock
Reset One to the TWRP, but it does not unlock it
Any falstboot command ends up with: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase
I already playing with it over 20 hours, but I didnt find how to fix it
I had the same issue that could not unlock bootloader neither flash any room after brick. I used the computer downloaded color os and pushed it to my oneplus SD memory with cmd. But before that I installed twrp 2.7.1 in order to be able to flash os. The only rom was color os that I had success to install. Still bootloader not unlocked but color os rom has root privileged. But at least I have working phone. I installed twrp temporarily with toolkit from xda.
I succeeded to install the latest CyanogenMod 4.4.4. It is pain in the ass. But did it. Most implant is to unlock boot loader with flashing files from twrp. Then used toolkit and installed the rom and Chinese fastboot is gone.

I have same problem as OP.
Code:
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.019s]
finished. total time: 0.019s
When i do "fastboot oem unlock" when my phone is in fastboot mode, the CMD tells me
Code:
E:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
...
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.006s
E:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools>
Than he auto reboots into TWRP. I don't do anything there. I boot to android. I shut down. And I Boot to fastboot again. Than when i try to do a fastboot flash or boot he tells me "DEVICE NOT UNLOCKED cannot BOOT"
So every time i unlock it, he puts it immediatly in lock.
What to do?
