[Q] HTC Sensation: Phone ON, but screen BLANK after Android 2.3.4 OTA update!

Hi all,
I got the Android 2.3.4 OTA update, downloaded and installed it. The Sensation switched on right after update. The HTC boot screen came up, the boot-up sound played, AND THE SCREEN WENT BLANK!!
Now, I know the phone is actually ON, because I can call it from another phone and it rings. Also, the regular gesture on the screen to answer a call works too, but still, nothing shows on the display.. it's totally BLANK..
How can i solve this issue?? Thanks in advance

Try flashing a RUU again, there's a thread with all available RUUs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
If you have a Tmobile Sensation then select TMOUS and open it after it downloads, and follow instructions. If it doesn't work, you should put the warranty to use if it has warranty.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Just wanted to note to you that my phone has never been rooted or has never had any custom firmware or any such thing done. This was the only OS update i've done since i bought it. Other than that, only tiny apps and games have been installed.
Also, the phone is not locked to any network.
Does your instruction still apply? if so, please let me know the way ahead. Thanks again

Yes, the RUU is a file that you open and it's like an OTA update but for computer, something like that. I have a Tmobile Sensation and I flashed this one:
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
It's the latest leaked RUU I think, and it's the same version that came with my phone when I got it. I used it to get S-ON too after S-Off and rooting. There's a tutorial for that too here if you want to root. Let me know how it works.

Yea, that's the thing, my friend. I don't want to do anything like rooting/unrooting etc. etc. all i want is my phone's screen to start working.
before the 2.3.4 OTA update, I had Android 2.3.3 on my phone. is there any way to go back to that version of Android?

You not rooting/unrooting. You're just flashing the stock ROM back onto the phone. See it as reformating a PC hard drive for a clean installation. You will lose all data, mind

aah ic.. apologies for my stupid questions.. i'me truly a newbie when it comes to stuff like this..
can you please give me directions on which RUU to choose and how to go about doing the installation? umm... please...? *innocent eyes*

Haven't tried taking the battery out yet..? First thing I would do

Hi Tirozz,
Yea i've done all of that:
- took off battery, put it in after 30 seconds, switched it on
- did hard reset by going into that special mode by pressing power and volume down
- took off memory card and switched on
still nothing..

MicroWise, there is a way to get back to Android 2.3.3. Download this RUU if you have a Tmobile Sensation:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cb7...00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed.exe
Open it in your Windows PC and follow the instructions, then you'll have the stock Android 2.3.3 back again.
If you don't have the TMobile one, download the corresponding one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Let me know how it goes.

I had the same problem,
& i solve it by installing the previous ROM & don't flash the update
install your compatible Rom form the thread above,

Thanks for the instructions, KCuadrado. And again, i'm very sorry for being an absolute idiot in this area and bugging you all with it..
my sensation is not a Tmobile.. infact its not tied to ANY operators.. and doesn't have any operator logos on it either.. it is not network locked.. so which RUU do i use from there?

I don't know how to help you now :/
Check the RUU forum thread and ask if someone has a RUU for your HTC. Or you can try rooting and getting SuperCID so you can flash any RUU file, but it's easier to ask on the forum thread for your compatible RUU file.

Alright, Thanks a lot, dude.
I shall go over there

What is the model of your phone and what region are you in? I assume it's an XE or XL, not 4g. I will try to help you.. are you at all familiar with adb? What does it say on the screen of the phone when you press the vol- and power power? Can you take a photo and upload it?

You can't flash an ota with custom recovery. Nothing concrete? Have you tried using the search function on the forum, hundreds of posts about it?

Can't Get Back To Unrooted Stock No Matter What I Try

Last week I went back to stock to familiarize myself with the process (which unfortunately brought my HBoot to 1.14). I also decided to try out TWRP when I rooted again. But before I could finish up I hit a button in TWRP that didn't need any confirmation. I don't remember which button because it did what it did quicker than I could notice. After that I couldn't even flash a ROM because I couldn't mount the sd card and whatever happened erased everything on my phone but I ended up figuring that out.Now I'm on ViperOneS but I can't unroot. I can't flash either of the RUU (Error 155) that are for T-Mobile US I even changed my CID to 11111111 but no dice(and yes I did flash the stock recovery and boot before relocking). The only thing I can do to get close to unrooted stock is flash the nandroid of a rooted stock ROM. Now I haven't mentioned every method I've tried, so before I start getting bashed for not searching, I want to mention that I've been at this for about 4 days and I have tried EVERYTHING that I've found on XDA and other forums but nothings worked. Is it my HBoot that prevents from doing anything? Should get another One S? Or should I just be thankful that I have a functioning phone?
Sorry for the long winded post but I wanted to make sure I put in as much detail as possible.

It's most likely your hboot that prevents the RUU's from working. You can only use a RUU that contain a hboot of 1.14 or higher.
Since your signature says HBoot: 1.14 & Radio: 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L. I assume you updated via the T-mobile US OTA, is that correct?
What's interesting is that other hboots in the 1.14 family are listed as 1.14.0002 but the T-mobile OTA the hboot is labeled 1.14.0004. I haven't seen anyone state if this is will prevent "downgrading" to 1.14.002 and don't feel like finding out myself.

Yeah it was the T-Mobile OTA, worst decision ever... I've tried both the 1.84 and 1.53 T-Mo RRU's multiple times and since I changed my CID I've thought of trying another carriers but I don't want to possibly make things worse.

I feel your pain. I updated with the OTA that moved us to hboot 1.13 before anyone said they changed the security :crying:.
The 1.84 and 1.53 RUU's wouldn't work for sure. 1.84 has the 1.13 hboot and 1.53 has the 1.09 hboot. Your only hope of using an RUU at this time is one of the Europe RUU's. The good news is that you already moved to supercid so you got that out of the way.
The ones that might work are the ones labeled "RUU_Ville_U_ICE_40_S_Europe_2.xxxxxx"
Here you can get the 2.21 RUU I can't recall if it's the 4.0.4 based one though. Not really sure where to get the other ones as file factory changed their download rules.
http://www.mediafire.com/?xlklqrlljb2zt#r9489rkr82wh2
You might need to click the "mainver error fix" on the on the All-in-one tool kit to get them to work since you would be downgrading the rom.
And if you do use that RUU from mediafire you can go here and click the thanks button for SneakyGhost for putting up the RUU for you to download.

I've downgraded from 2.31 to 2.21, I know both have HBOOT 1.14 but not exactly sure if they have the exact identical numbers after the 1.14.

2.21 RUU worked better for me than the T-Mobile stock Rom, it doesn't have w Wi-Fi calling do if that's a must for you only hope is to wait for the T-Mobile 2.35 RUU to be released.

One last thing I did after installing that RUU was edit the build.prop to match some lines from the T-Mobile one:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=4
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=2
ro.ril.radio.svn=1
Make sure those match, these have given me the fastest DL speeds.

I'm honestly not to sure on how to fix this. I've searched it before I went back to stock (going back to stock is a definite fix) and couldn't find much on it. I'm sure something has developed from it by now though. Actually :: navigates to another tab:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900644 if it's compatible with your ROM, this kernel claims to have a fix for wifi and sound (I don't know what the sound issue is all about) but try that, it might work. But most importantly search, read, search and read some more, especially since you're new to this, I've rooted many phones and I still had problems with the One S. Good luck!

[Q] Differences between hboots 1.06, 1.09, 1.13, and 1.14?

So I successfully downgraded from hboot 1.14 to 1.06, and used the TMOUS 1.53 RUU to restore it, but now I am curious as to what the major differences and incompatibilities each hboot has. Since I was on 1.14 I understand that that one had more restrictions and broke wi-fi on some roms. Which hboot would be "best" for 3rd arty roms and overall usage? I'm asking this partly because even with hboot 1.06 wi-fi was still too buggy for use on CM10.

I downgraded from 1.14 to 1.06 too, installed 1.53 RUU and then experienced wifi issues on Trickdroid 8.
I had to flash "extra partitions" to make it work. Seems to be some partitions required for wifi to work on versions based on latest sense kernels.
I flashed extra partitions 2.35 and wifi did not work. Then I flashed 1.84 and wifi on Trickdroid 8 would connect, but from time to time (very frequently every 15 seconds on average) disconnect and reconnect, randomly (was annoying and killing my battery). I moved to trickdroid 7 TMOUS version and wifi works perfectly, never disconnects.
(My phone was from T-Mobile)
Here are the links, taken from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657831&page=271

And regarding the topic from this post, hboot is like the BIOS of the phone. You gain nothing from upgrading it, only gain restrictions from 1.13 and above. So as far as I read it is better to stick to 1.06
Regarding the procedure to downgrade, for the one that asked, it can make you panic on the step when you upload hboot 1.06. For me, it failed 3 times, and I had to go to work after third time with a "bricked" phone -.-
But I came back, tried from my laptop instead of my PC, and worked on the first attemp!. Seemed to be my PC USB not working properly or not being fast enough/not having enough power, who knows.
It seems scary but is fairly straight through, the procedure is perfectly detailed. Did it from an Ubuntu 12.04 live image.

Diego

Yes, I used the guide Kamilr mentioned. It was fairly nerve wracking but if you carefully read all of the instructions and get an idea of what your doing it goes pretty smoothly. Same with sperad, flashing the hboot itself failed for me 3 times, but all you had to do was reboot and retry. But anyways regarding the wifi issue. flashing the new radio did not seem to alleviate anything, but I flashed viperOneS and wifi now works fine, so I plan to stay with it.
@fjjfrank Try relocking your bootloader, then running your RUU http://d-h.st/users/agentc13/?fld_id=2293#files (if you're on tmobile its 1.53, im not sure about the other networks), which'll bring you back to stock. Wi-Fi worked perfectly on stock when I tried that after downgrading to 1.06. If its good from there you can try what i did and unlock your bootloader again and flash viperOneS which worked for me.

HTC ONE S - Unbranding process

Hi all,
I've got a HTC ONE S that has Vodafone (UK) branding on it but the phone is unlocked so it takes my Orange sim card. What's the best method to remove the Vodafone branding? I just want a generic handset.
Thanks in advanced.

Are you talking about the actual physical branding or the software branding?. A simple flash to a 3rd party Rom would "debrand" your device.

tryout trickdroid's latest version

Apologies for the wrong forum, I realised that afterwards.
Right, I've now rooted my device so could someone recommend me a STOCK rom to clear out the Vodafone crap?
Thank you
EDIT - I have the S4 ONE S (1.5Ghz version)

Thanks for that. I updated the phone to JB the other night so will these be compatible?
Also - I tried a ROM last night and it wasn't the right file type but I wiped my old OS. But as a guide told me to make a backup, I did and restored without any problems but lost SuperSU - Is this normal? Shall I just re-install?
Downloaded one but unsure how to install them as they're EXE files. What state does my phone need to be in? It also says
From:
Image Version
3.16.161.9
To:
Image Version:
1.78.401.2
Error [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
I've tried locking my bootloader again it says 'RELOCKED' but still says TAMPERED
EDIT - In recovery screen also, it says at the top
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
Is this normal?

I am getting no where with this and it's becoming very annoying!
I've tried reading through forum and forum, YouTube videos and various different methods!
All I want is my phone to be STOCK and it's taking me over 4 hours this morning to get no where!

Really strange that it says relocked/tampered and tampered/unlocked in recovery...
You might've gone wrong with the relocking of your phone, undoubtedly have you checked this out.
Can you tell me what you've ben trying so far?
And another thing: if you updated to JB, these RUUs might not work any longer since they are ICS mostly.
The best thing for you is to go by a custom ROM, it is at least the easiest thing to do now.
You can always fiddle around to restore to STOCK but as you've experienced yourself already, it isn't easy.
Here's a link to what I used when I bricked my phone, it might be of some help.

Error 131 means the RUU is incompatible with your CID. Do you know it? Not sure where to find cid specific RUU but searching XDA will always yield answers.
Lock phone, fastboot usb connect phone, find right RUU and open the .exe
Btw you htc drivers installed on you're pc right?

Read this article carefully. It will give you an insight in how difficult the process we're doing is:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/facepalm-s-off-for-htc-one-s-one-xl-and-droid-dna/
You said you downloaded the latest OTA right? This article states that with the latest OTA update we are no longer able to SUPERCID the phone, meaning only CID-specific RUUs can be applied. I can't find any RUUs for your CID, so this might just be the end of the road for this plan.
So maybe installing a ROM similar to stock might be the only good solution for you.

Thanks for the information - I'll give this a read in a while. I've also looked into changing the CID of my phone, followed a couple of guides but they don't seem to work, they just crash my phone.
EDIT - So, basically I have to stick with the Vodafone branding on my ONE S unless I flash to a custom ROM?

Can you recommend me a good one to try? One that's as close to stock as possible that doesn't have any problems. This is my 3rd HTC device and the last 2 devices always had problems, hence why I wanted stock.
EDIT - Also, what steps do I need to take to get it back to before I rooted it? Completely factory before I installed anything.

Still getting nowhere.
I've even managed to change my CID to 11111111 from the Vodafone branded one using HEX editor. Still getting the same error's when I'm trying to install .ZIP and .EXE's when the bootloader is RELOCKED.

Could no one else shed some light on this for me please?
CID is now HTC__001 and still get the same error messages!
How hard can it be to remove a service providers software from a phone?
I would really appreciate someones help - I've tried pretty much all I can try!
Could I install an Android version lower than what I've got? I don't mind it not being JB as it's pretty much the same as ICS!

[Q] AT&T HTC One X ROM & Kernel Problem

Hi guys,
I'm newbie about android and please do not be angry to me for this question. I was read lots of topics from xda and another forums but I can't find anything.
I have AT&T HTC One X and i was happy with my phone. Maybe one year ago I rooted my phone and install ATT Stock Root - 3.18.502.6 - JB 4.1.1.zip. So, i followed instructions from xda's web site and everything was fine.
Last two weeks my phone starts to restarts it self. So, I decide to install everything again and open my phone in recovery mode with TWRP and wipe all data. (I don't have any backup of my original data)
I have TRWP's 2.7.1.0 version and I tried to install ATT Stock Root - 3.18.502.6 - JB 4.1.1.zip because I install it one year ago and it works fine. It installs fine but when I press restart my phone stuck at Quietly Brilliant screen and after 2 minutes my phone restarts it self.
Also I can't s-off my phone. I have unlock code bin and I applied it to my phone but something was wrong.
So please can any one help me please. I don't know why my phone acts like that.
Thanks in advance.

Ok so I know your a newbie but do you know your firmware is way out of date? We now have firmware for at&t that is at least 4 realises older than the current. I would say upgrade to a new ROM and firmware. If you don't wish to upgrade I have to ask what kernel you are using?

What he said. Also, did you flash the boot.img from the rom zip via fastboot? As you are s-on, you must perform that additional step.

I suggest he reads timaaas thread. Sounds to me like he should run a ruu to which he can still obtain s off.

Well thanks for suggestions, but I don't know what is the sequence for installing new firmware, rom and kernel. Could you guys please explain the it.

No, no, no! He can't run an RUU while s-on because it'll brick his phone. I know you mean well but you need to increase your own knowledge before you can start giving advice here, I've seen at least a few times where you've given advice that would result in a brick. I'm sure you don't want that on your conscience.

You more than likely only needed to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip by fastboot. Flash the ROM, then flash the boot.img, and your phone should boot up. Once you're all booted you need to get s-off. Look in my guide thread in my signature for instructions.
