[Q] Can't format / factory reset - HTC Sensation

Hellou,

Download and install the 4ext app and install it on your phone then install their rom which is the best out there from the app... That should solve your problem...

I think you might have to do a superwipe and reinstall recovery. I had a problem with revolutionary recovery so I did a full wipe and reinstall recovery. Now I don't have problems.
But now I have 4ext recovery .can I not use rom manager if don't have revolutionary recovery ???

Don't use ROM manager full stop - it's crap. boot into 4ext and do it all from there

while entering recovery it boot looped...weird ...it seems like something got corrupted in /recovery partition
try this
extract the boot.img (choose it from the kernel of your liking) from ARHD zip and flash it via fastboot
command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot and see..if that didnt worked
then probably you need to format all the partitions again and see..
to do that you need to run RUU (you'll lose your data this way)
i assume you are supercid (as you are SOFF)
so get any ICS RUU ...
keep your phone in fastboot and run the RUU from your pc
(it will do a clean install of stock ICS but wont change your SOFF status..so you can install ARHD again)
hopefully this will solve the problem

Oi you have old firmware .i Think it came after running the RUU otherwise It won't be compatible with ics roms.. You need to flash the 3.32 firmware again.. Check the ARHD thread OP for the 3.32 firmware
Also if you already tried the above and still not working
Then flash a ics RUU .. after flashing RUU.. Try to enter the stock recovery (once you enter you need to press all three hard buttons to get options)
If it still bootloops during entering recovery means.. You might have bad blocks in the internal memory.. Which is a hardware issue
Confirm/try the above.. In the mean time I'll try to dig further

I am S-ON. I don`t know what the problem is. I tryed every single method,but,dosen`t work for me.
Can someone help me please?
Are you using 4Ext SmartFlash? Are you wiping everything before flashing a rom?
post your bootloader details
Yes,I am using 4ext smartflash. Also tryed with superwipe. Same story...
Where can I find bootloader details ? If you mean unlocked/locked,it`s unlocked.

[Q] Htc sensation xe with beats audio in a boot loop

Before you say anything i just want to state that i have been on my computer for over 4 hours trying to fix this issue but nothing seems to work. I have had my phone for a while now and while im not a complete noob at the tech with it i wouldnt say i have a very strong understanding either. So the phone was given to me by a friend, already rooted and i have had no promblems with it but today i tried to flash cyanogenmod(?) and well alot of things happened.
At first when i finished it just kept resetting so i did a bit of researched and i updated the firmware(without supercid) note that i only know that i was meant to use supercid after my phone went into a boot loop
So anyways long story short i cant use supercid because my phone is in a continous boot loop and it doesnt get recognised as a usb thingo when i plug it in so i cant do those commands i need to do for supercid
so urgent help is needed !!!
reading your post i assume you are S-OFF
what recovery do you have?
try 4ext recovery if you don't have it and reflash the rom

Hi,
Which firmware did you flash?
Supercid is not a necessity.
Use Kohr-Ah's Universal firmware ,and your CID should be incorporated in it.
If not,you can write it into the info.txt
i flashed the 3.3 universal then when everything went bad i tried to flash stock rom 3.33 or something :s

Hi,
Glad it worked.
Your radio is now good.
Place a Rom on the root of your sd card,go into recovery,wipe the phone clean.
If you have 4 EXT ,then,format all partitions except sd card.
Install ROM.
