[Solved] HTC keeps rebooting after while using ControlBear - HTC Sensation

I've got HBOOT 1.27.0000 so I had no choice but to use the ControlBear method.
The virtual Machine doesn't work on my computer, so I was forced to search for the windows files.
I couldn't find any for the HTC Sensation, but I found one for the Evo 3d.(I have less than 10 posts, so I can't give you guys the link.)
So you can guess what I did. I downloaded the linux files for my HTC Sensation from unlimited.IO site.
And I also downloaded the files for the Evo3D.
Then I extracted both of them.
I replaced the jb_boot.img file and ControlBear.exe. (Not jb_boot.zip) Without the jb_boot.img ControlBear gives an error.
After that I conected my phone, ran ControlBear.exe.
It found my device and did its job(not really), and my phone had to restart. But it keeps on restarting.
All what ControlBear says is trying to reconnect to my phone.
I didn't come to the point where I have to do the "Wire-Trick". The ControlBear logo didn't even show up on my HTC.
I still can launch the menu when I hold the Volume Down+ Power button.
It's not S-Off though, but that was to be expected.
Additional Information:
My HTC Sensation is S-On.
Usb Debugging settings is enabled.
I used the temp-root.batch (it worked)
I did the bootloader thing.
I already turned once my HTC Sensation S-Off, but then with the revolutionary tool.
I had to turn S-On because of the warranty (that also worked).
Sorry for this mistake guys, I know it's stupid.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you help me.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
I've fixed it now!
I want to thank you all for your help and contribution, each one of you!
After 4 days i can fineally enjoy my HTC Sensation.

you need to ruu your phone

Yes I guess RUU needs to be done

Wich RUU would you suggest?
The stock one?
I think I already have the stock RUU.
My CID is VODAPE17, and my MID is PG5813000.
version-main: 3.32.162.52

find the 3.32.162.52 RUU and flash it. Then attempt again using the linux version from the official site. The windows version was taken down for a reason

A little off topic; but why was the windows one taken down?
Worked perfectly for me. :/
Btw I do have windows one (Beta 0.6) for Sensation if OP still needs it.. I can PM..

I can't find that one.
Is this one fine too? RUU Pyramid Vodafone DE 1.27.162.1.zip
I have to download it from Rapidshare, and it takes... 1 day...
or this one: RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.exe
Or this one:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe
Though my HTC isn't Pyramid ISC?
EDIT:
When I try to install the RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.
it says that the utility can't update the android phone. Get the right RUU and try again?
RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.27.163.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191976_signed and RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed don't work either...

Why is HTC doing this...
It still isn't working...

Ouch, i just used the KGS utility tool to do this on hboot 1.29, worked on first try...
pyramid==htc sensation, ICS==ice cream sandwich (android 4.xx) which by your firmware, you're probably on

ah okey, thanks for the information.
I have hboot 1.27 though.
And it still isn't working...

Pm me for controlbear
I have the correct control bear for the sensation for windows, pm me and i will send the file to you.

Well I've fixed the RUU problem, by relocking my HTC again.
I had to type fastboot oem lock.
So i've installed this RUU:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed

My HTC booted nice and worked again.
I've UNLOCKED my HTC with the Unlock_Code.bin from HTCdev(my own code)>
I've used temp-root, and ran ControlBear.exe ( THIS time I got the right one, from a known contributor on this forum)
It made a back-up etc.
But here's the problem again..
After it found his fourth bear my HTC restarted.
After that, it is stuck in a boot loop again...
I've unplugged my phone and plugged back it, but it's still in a boot loop.
I've relocked my HTC, and I'm installing the RUU again..
Any help guys?
I'm kinda getting desperate...

what version of controlbear do you have?
the that requires htcdev unlock or the nohtcdev one?

Google kgs utility sensation, you still need the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip zip unless you plan to go HTC dev route but there's both option in the utility(u choose) phone will reboot many times during this, just let it, it's not a 2 minute process, more like 15 or 20minutes

So you're saying that I should unlock my HTC but not with the HTC DEV thing?
Or is my phone not requiered to be UNLOCKED for ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip
Or do I just have to let my phone reboot for 10-15 minutes, with USB plugged on?

if your bootloader is locked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip

[Q] Phone stuck at JuopunutBear

I am trying to S-Off my phone now, I was following this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
I was at step 6, but it failed. The phone got to the green logo, but controlbear.exe was still searching for the phone.. for about 5 mins or so it finally quit and told me to press "enter to exit".. well now the phone is stuck at the green logo. I can't detect the phone in adb and if I try to just reboot it goes back to the green logo. How do I try the s-off process again? I was trying to search around but didn't find the thread.
Did you unlock with HTC unlock first? i would use an RUU and just start over but someone will have to confirm first or something. I went the original revolutionary route.

From what I was reading, I couldn't use revolutionary route since I was already on 1.27 hboot. I wish I didn't have to use HTC unlock, oh well. I figured I would probably upgrade my phone but I needed to use warranty anyway.

Stuck on HTC screen, can't unlock bootloader, can't root from Fastboot

I got a bricked T-mobile Sensation today at the shop and after checking it out I thought it would be easy to fix but unfortunately its proving to be much more difficult than I expected. Here's what I'm working with:
Locked s-on
Hboot 1.18.0000
radio 10.14.9035.01_m
First, I tried all kinds of PG58 zips. None worked. I figure I need to be unlocked to do it. Did the HTC unlock and got to the warning screen and where it asks to choose yes or no. I can navigate to yes or no but when I choose yes it just freezes and doesn't do anything. I tried it 3 different times, same thing. I can't even choose factory reset in Hboot, it just freezes. I don't know what the eff is going on. I've been downloading RUUs but have yet to find the correct one. I don't know what firmware it has because it does not boot up.
I thought, well shoot, I have fastboot, maybe I could just s-off and root from fastboot, but I can't find any thread explaining how to do it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Edit:
Found the correct RUU, 1.50.xxxx whatever. WHen I run the utility It says its rebooting into bootloader but stays in the same screen and doesn't do anything. I don't know if this helps, but when I go into the bootloader I cannot go back into hboot. It just, freezes.
Have you tried this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And you need to be s-off to flash those pg58 zips, thats why they failed.
As you're on HBOOT 1.18.0000 use the revolutionary method to get S-OFF. http://revolutionary.io
The HTC unlock is a bit redundant as it doesn't give S-OFF which you need.
There are many guides here on XDA to help you. Such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
EDIT: Oops didn't notice that "Kazireh" has already posted the link.
You'll need the HTC drivers (download HTC Sync install it then delete HTC Sync leaving the drivers installed).
You should also get the ADB tools installed as at some stage they'll be useful.
As far as the RUU is concerned you need to make sure it's the right one for the current CID on the phone.

Thanks for the help guys, but heres the deal:
I cannot s-off due to it not being able to boot.
I could try Junopbears s-off but I cannot unlock, as it just freezes when I try.
I found the correct ruu but again it freezes and does not boot into the bootloader.
My CID is T-mob010
I have all drivers installed, adb, fastboot, etc
If your on hboot 1.18 you have a gingerbread fw, look for that
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
its completely possible that the motherboard is failing. I see this in my shop all the time, though usually with the MyTouch 4G (faulty eMMC chip) but the sensation and a few other HTC's also see this. we havent come up with a solution between my two stores employees, so hopefully someone here can?

Yeah that's what I'm leaning toward right now, there is nothing else I can do. I have 4 or 5 Mytouchs on the shelf with bad eMMc chips so I guess this one is joining them.

Yes the RUU was 1.50.531.xxxxxx
Yes, I can get into Fastboot usb, I can do fastboot commands, it just freezes when the RUU tries to do its thing.
Jbear would still work if the bootloader were locked, but I couldn't unlock the bootloader. Revolutionary will not work either because its run while the phone is on, which I can't do.
I think I've exhausted every option, it seems to all point to a failed eMMc chip, shame though, I really like these phones.
Thanks for the help fellas

[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

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] is my device recoverable

hi all,
i HAD a sensation running Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. and without checking properly, i installed AOKP-42-20130118.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. the phone won't boot or charge. i then realised this is not a sensation rom, it's a HTC ONE rom, i think!! . i've followed the HTC Unbricking Project and get "device not found...check connections" in ubuntu. phone shows up on windows as other device labeled QHSUSB_DLOAD. is my phone toast? sorry if all this sounds amateurish as im completely new to all this. thanks all.
thats some dangerous thing happened there ..if HTC UNBRICKING not doing any help ..then service center only

hi, my phone has been recovered and back working. service centre returned the phone with locked bootloader, s-off and hboot 1.29.
i'd like to get back to Android Revolution HD 6.8.0, can i just root and flash a recovery, or have i to unlock the bootloader again on htv dev? can i use the backups i made earlier on hboot 1.27?
thanks again.

you received the phone with LOCKED bootloader and SOFF ?
then before doing anything ..i would suggest you to ..check whether the phone is soff or not (I've seen 3 cases at-least where the phone showed soff (after the phone got back from service center) but its not actually soff and people bricked their phone again trying to flash stuff) ... to check soff status go to my soff guide (link in my signature)..try the controlbear soff NO HTC_DEV unlock one ..if the phone is properly soff then the controlbear says soff and exits ..otherwise your phone is not soff ..
also you cant do HTC-DEV unlock (motherboard got replaced so IMEI changed) as IMEI changed and the unlock procedure fails ..the only way is JB SOFF

yes install juopunutbear hboot via controlbear and if that didnt went successfully ..install patched revoultionary hboot (at the end of first post i think) from kohr-ah firmware thread present in sensation development section.
then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )

then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )

cm 10.1 of albioman ?

[Q] It's bricked guys, and this is serious sht

Hello guys, mainly developers and their friends who might mention my case between each other.
This is a quite big problem, so maybe these few lines below deserve a second read.
From the very beginning: I bought an XE in Europe from second hand. I was about to open the bootloader by using htcdev. As a good layman I found a useless thread which's misled me: I factory reset the phone and after that I did not enable USB Debugging. On the official htc site of unlocking bootloader I chose the option from the list, titled 'Sensation EU'. Since then I've already found out this is an Asian device (cid: ASIA-HK-CHT HTC__622), so I should have chosen 'All other supported device'. In the last step by unlocking bootloader I got a question about unlocking it, or not, whereupon I asked it to do so, causing immediate freeze on the screen.
So, this smartie is bricked now - even though I can reach the bootloader(h-boot 1.29) and the recovery(stock) too - considering the following: I can't unlock it anymore by using the right 'Unlock_code.bin' file either, since it shows me the same frozen screen after choosing 'yes' (by step 12 at htcdev). Nor I can S-OFF or accomplish the RUU procedure. At the latter I can go until it's checked the P58IMG.zip file, and asking me for applying the update. When I press vol_up the brick begins updating the bootloader and never finishes. I mean I like watching that screen for hours, colorful and I'm really obsessed with the phrase 'Updating...', but I'd still like to use this sensation for calls and things. If run the execute file(RUU) on PC, while the phone is connected via 'FASTBOOT USB' it gets stuck at 'rebooting bootloader...' In fastboot I can't even erase my cache, neither in recovery.
Do you think, it'll ever be able to use for its destiny again, if I'd follow the instructions you may give me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for your response. I can't factory reset from nowhere, it causes frostbite. So the details:
H-BOOT Pyramid 1.29.0000, LOCKED, S-ON; the phone main version is 3.32.708.151

Thank you guys, I really appropriate your help. The only thing is when I try to run the execute file, it stops doing anything by "rebooting bootloader"... After 20 minutes the same screen, and the guide only tells me that it takes approximately 10 minutes. When I try to flash it from bootloader, I doesn't go any further then updating bootloader.
Question: the RUU on the link you post is 3.33.707. My phone is HK and not WWE, so it's 708 and not 707. In the txt the cid version is HTC__621, mine is HTC_622. Do you think is enough if I'd just write my cid number into that? I'll givi it a go anyways, but if you have any advice...
Thank guys, you're the best.

Ohh then the ruu won't work and changing the cid won't help either.
Hmm we need that ruu
Otherwise try the soff without htcdev (guide link in my signature) as you can't htcdev unlock it

still nothing

Yeah, thanks for the link, but it doesn't work either. I've written the 'cidnum: HTC__622' (without any spaces before and after that) into the txt, but after it's checked the P58IMG.zip doesn't ask me anything, just let me be in bootloader like I'd have started the device in bootloader mode without SD.
all right

All right, I will try to S-OFF using your guide, but the 3rd and 4th points are not available for me. So I can only connect my phone to PC with Fastboot USB. :\ What do you think?
p.s. This is the file I could go the furthest with: RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.32.708.112_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_253449_signed.exe
As you see, it is still 3.32, but finally 708, but the last number from that part really makes me anxious, because it's 112, and on my phone that number is 151. I really don't want to give up, so any advice will be appropriated. (Yes, I've seen the donate me button on your profile )

Well, I'm in command: "* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *|* daemon started successfully *" and it's been nothing happening since I've started the method 10 min ago.
"Hmm we need that ruu" => which numbers must match you think in the name of the file? And where the hell to find? yahoo twice better than ggl, so I found the previous one I've showed you.

Flash the ruu with phone connected from fastboot
Thats should work
Also if the ruu flashing stuck at some point.. There will be a log generated at C:/ruu post the log here (latest modified file)
Edit: btw Donate won't work for me. You can donate to devs on my behalf if you want
