[Q] Bootloop Sensation XE

Hello!
My HTC Sensation XE have gone in a bootloop after i rooted it. I've tried several ROMs, and I can't figure how to make the loop stop.
I'm able to go in hboot, and 4EXT recovery.
My hboot looks like this;
***LOCKED***

Any idea how to make the loop stop?
I want to use the HyperSensation rom, if u need to know that to help me!
Thx for answers!

Did you wipe before installing the rom? If not this is what is causing your issue! In recovery you need to do the wipe.
Hope this helps! The thank button is there for a reason!

Tried that, a million times. haha, but thanks! Anything more i can do?

Did you try putting a new rom on your sd card? I mean using a micro sd to sd? Then plug it in your computer if it has it?

If you mean putting a ROM on the SD card, and flash it via 4ext, then yes. Thats the only way ive tried to flash roms. Might that be the reason for the loop?

Radio?
Shoudln't the hboot say something about radio?
mine doesn't, but it I remember that it did the first time i went in Hboot.
If that's the problem, how can i fix it?

What custom recovery are you using?

4EXT

Fixed the radio now, had the wrong firmware for my ROM. Doesn't loop anymore, but wont start up either, it shows me the HTC logo for hours.

sim lock
my phone is locked to "Telenor"(I live in Norway). Telenor is a phone company.
May that be my problem? and how can i remove the sim lock?

First thing first do the whole first Step of this guide to S-OFF your Sensation. Do it very carefully and follow all steps!. Don't get bored to read.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY Find your CID and MID as the thread says (I recommend using the method 1. fastboot getvar cid
2. fastboot getvar mid). Then download the correct firmware from the same thread corresponding to your CID. The correct version is 3.32 if you want to flash ICS roms. Just find the correct one to download.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
to install a custom recovery. There is a file called "Recovery flash guide - READ ME.txt". Do as it says EXACTLY .
Then just download whatever rom you want, place it on your sd and flash it using the Install zip from sd-card option located in the recovery (access it by pressing volume up+power when the phone is turned off)
This is a guide for a specific ROM (Android Revolution HD) but the procedure is similar for any ROM. just flash different zip

We use ODIN only for samsung phones. We only install flashable .zip files on Sensation XE

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck on boot screen

Hi Guys, hoping I can get some help.
I've been working on a sensation but it's got me a bit stumped. The phone is sticking on the boot screen and I cant access the recovery. I've tried taking the battery and then holding down the volume key whilst powering back up. I've tried using KGS utility but it cant find the phone. It's been a while since I have fiddled about with phones so I might be missing something but if I could just get back in the recovery I'm pretty sure I could sort it out.
Any help is gratefully appreciated

Hi there can some other issues. The first, what os you're using, I mean hboot version? The problem is that every android os version needs its own hboot. One case of solving is to install a clear ROM, but you'll loose all your info. Another is to install just hboot that supports yous OS. You'll have to find it out.
Update of hboot runs from windows commander, you can download it from internet easily. If you're using mac, sorry cannot tell anything.
Good luck.

I downloaded the recovery image and put in the android folder with the fastboot and adb etc but on step four when it says 'click on Open command window here' I don't have that option, maybe because I'm on win xp? I can drop the recovery file on CMD window though and get the following,
C:\Android\recovery.img

are you sure that you hold shift + right click on the white space of the folder?
i have left xp for years and i do not remember them at all
also by saying ''drop the recovery in CMD window'' do you mean in the folder of android?

Yeah I've shift and right clicked the the white space in the folder but no option to 'Open command window here'
I'll google it to see if its because it's win xp.
And yeah sorry I should have explained a bit more in detail but I opened the command prompt box (cmd.exe) and then the recovery image that I downloaded from step 2, I just dragged and dropped it onto the command prompt, if that makes sense :good:

followed step 2 but still unable to get access to recovery
None of the sotware I'm using to recover the phone is finding the device..bricked?

Before doing anything try going to bootloader first
Power off phone.. Remove battery..reinsert it..Then hold vol down + power for some time..It will take you to bootloader
Then post all the details bootloader shows here.. Then we can continue further

I finally managed to get in the recovery by using the volume down key and power button. I then used super wipe to clean things up. Then I tried to restoring to my original ROM that I'd backed up but I'm still getting stuck on the boot screen. So I then tried to get access to the recovery again using the same method, volume down and the power button, but it wont access it again

froyo rom?on sensation?
nevermind.the problem is when you are flashing a new rom it doesn't flash the boot partition by itselF(S-ON devices)
the only thing you have to do is download an ICS rom(because of your hboot version you have 3.32fw or3.33fw)
enable smartflash from recovery and then flash the rom
froyo it can't be run in that fw version not even GB.

cool - thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go now

I've flashed a ICS rom and the phone is now booting up fine. So I can I go ahead and put on the ROM I want or do I have to enable smartflash?

If your S on, yes you must enable smart flash. Every time you flash a rom. Best wishes

You mentioned trying to install Android Revolution, don't do that, it's not for our phone. You need to stay in this device forum that you're posting in or you'll flash something that'll brick your phone.

It won't show up in odin, that's for Samsung devices.
You'll need adb and fastboot set up on your computer.

You don't "click" on ADB. You need to open a command line window and run the relevant ADB command from there. Search, there is a very good ADB guide somewhere on XDA with everything you will ever need.

Ok i think iv figured out fastboot can run commands and stuff on it seems cool.
But The problem I have now is that my usb dosent show the phone it charges but dosent recognize it in the bottom corner?
Iv installed drivers for it etc
Is that coz i messed up the rom ?
Fasboot isnt picking it up

Is your phone in fastboot mode? (reboot to bootloader, should say fastboot USB at the top)

UPDATE
Ok so now I have a laptop that will recognise it and drivers installed I tried RUU official 4.0 stock or ROM update Utility 1.0.6.2012 . It finds phone fine and gets through all the steps but when it is updating signature it cuts off and i get ERROR 155 : UNKMOWN ERROR.
Is this the right RUU stock?
It said it was updating image version 13 ( bunch of number) to 14( bunch of numbers)
Anyone know a RUU STOCK Rom that would work ?

why do you want installing stock RUU..?, or do you want your phone to return to the stock..?, what do you wanted exactly..?
if you wanna installing custom rom..then you just need find a custom rom you want (find the right custom rom that are still had compatible kernel for hitachi or mddi panel)..then flashing it through TWRP recovery..after that..you must flashing boot.img (the kernel is already included in this boot.img) that are extracted from the custom rom.zip that you're already installed..flashing it through FASTBOOT mode..with fastboot command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
hopefully this can help...

[Q] Sensation Boot Help

Hi,
I have just dug up my Son's old HTC Sensation and thought I would try to get it going as I have in the past rooted a couple of Desires and a Legend. Upon boot the phone just sticks at the white screen with green HTC and won't load an OS.

Obviously a root job has been half done and it looks to me like I may need to downgrade the HBOOT so I have tried to find more info here but it all seems out of date (old phone) but my biggest problem is my PC won't pick up the device on the USB so I am stuck.
Any up to date help would be appreciated to unbrick it thanks

Hi,
Thank you - Recovery at the moment is ClockworkMod v5.8.0.9 but that doesn't seem to do much. Following the link in your sig for 4ext and the forum thread I downloaded the recovery.zip and tried to flash through FASTBOOT but the installation aborts each time.

Hi again,
Sorry, I've been away for a few days. I found an RUU with a VERY close number and installed that and it worked a treat The thing is I now have a locked, Vodafone branded phone which I would love to unlock and install a custom ROM that will work with S-ON as I don't seem to be able to S-OFF the phone. Is that possible now please?
Thanks.

if you still have the unlock code.bin use it to unlock the bootloader
otherwise go again to htcdev site and unlock it from there
then use this recovery
http://d-h.st/rG7
it is the latest 4ext verison
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
about S-OFF have you seen this method?

Over to HTC Dev it is then Thanks for that, I'll keep you up to date and maybe even try the S-OFF via that method after the recovery.img is flashed. Assuming I get that far !!
Thank you again.

OK - Phone unlocked again and 4ext downloaded............ How do I flash an img file? Keep asking for zip. I assume I am now flashing from the PC as recovery on the phone is now just a reset function.
Thanks.
