[Q] Sensation XE Bootloop

Hi,
I'm having a bootloop on my sensation xe. I never used a custom rom or anything, and last week i got the following error while updating an app:
"Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card" I rebooted my phone, and then i got stuck in a bootloop (booting till the htc logo, then rebooting).
I tried to flash a stock RUU from fastboot following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 . The command line showed no errors while flashing, but this didn't help.
Also flashing 4ext and cwm recoveries didn't work, the commandline showed no errors, but on the screen of my phone the little progress bar on the upper right side never got filled, and the recovery just goes straight to the htc logo, and then rebooting again..
Version:
Relocked
Pyramid pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.29.0000
eMMc-boot
cid: HTC__E11
mid: PG5813001
Is there anything else i can try, or should i send it out to be repaired?
Thanks in advance!

unlock again your bootloader with the unlock token.bin code
then see this thread to install roms with S-ON

Thanks for your reply.
But like I said, flashing 4EXT recovery is not working. It seems to flash ok (no errors), but when i try to access the recovery it just skips to the boot loop again.

did you try to install the recovery with unlocked bootloader?
because with relocked it won't work
edit:try to install 4ext using step 2 from the guide i linked to you if you haven't done it already

Yes, i tried with unlocked bootloader and just like that step from the guide. After that i tried to flash again a stock ruu so that's why the bootloader was relocked again.

what firmware do you have?
which ruu did you use?

that is what you need.nevermind

Running the ruu again now. I did try a factory reset, but again it jumps straight to the htc logo and then loops again
Edit: Same thing, rom update successfull, but keeps boot looping.. I did notice that the update seem to jump from 65% to 100% very fast, could that mean something?

You have latest hboot (1.29), AFAIK it cannot be completely unlocked.
Also, it is 'Relocked' ? Use htc dev token to unlock it again, than flash 4ext, and use it with 'smartflash' turned on.

[Q] desire s freezes in htc logo

Hi, I introduce myself, I'm Lorenzo from Italy, and I have come to you only after I've have tried to solve a problem with my Desire S.
I unfortunately found too late that the phone that I bought used had been modified with teh Revolutionary patch and when I
loaded an update downloaded from the official website from this moment the phone freezes on the screen HTC and goes no further.
I tried alone to search the web, using the various guides available to try to unlock the phone but with no success.
The current state is as follows:
the phone is S-ON
This is the state:
version: 0.5
version-bootloader:2.00.0002
version.baseband 3822.10.08.04_m
version-cpld: none
version-microp: none
version.main: 2.10.401.8
serialno:XXXXXXXXXXX
imei: XXXXXXXXXXX
product: saga
platform: HBOOT-7230
modelid: PG8810000
cidnum: HTC_E11
battery-status: good
battery-voltage: 4061V
partition-layout: Generic
securityn
build-mode: SHIP
boot-mode: FASTBOOT
commitno-bootloader: ebd3df7d
hbootpreupdate: 12
gencheckpt: 0
At this time I replaced Revolutionary with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.5 as I would like to load ice cream.
I also tried to follow a post that explained how to restore the original software, but I believe that in the current state it is necessary to install
the sdk to work at a lower level.
Thanks in advance for the attention you will give to my post.

I think you forgot to flash the boot. img
Sent from my supercharged :tank:

I've tryed to flash differents boot.img and hboot.img ( original and non ) without success, in fact the action fails verification. Is the device to be switched at S-Off state? Thanks.

mine is S on and after flashing every rom i have flash the boot image and also the first boot taked about 5 to 7 minutes for me.
i thought my phone was bricked but it does take bit time in booting.
So flash with fastboot flash boot boot.img
that should help.

AW: [Q] desire s freezes in htc logo
Is the bootloader locked or unlocked?

When I switch on the devce with volume down pressed the first raw say *** UNLOCKED ***, I think this mean that bootloader is unlocked.

I've loaded the boot.img from cm-7.2.0-saga, and now I've loaded the same zip from recovery and phone is alive! thanks for all. Bye.

I having this kind of problem when the time OTA 2.3.6 come to Desire S but i have forgot i'm have using Revolution to unlock my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701137
this link did save my phone but i cant remember the HBoot inside this thread is the one at the end i'm using. That HBOOT can let us downgrade our HBOOT to 0.98 from 6.xx, i'm using that after downgrade the HBOOT and flash with official HBOOT 0.98 then flash HTC Official gingerbread and when ICS release with official RUU i have upgrade it to ICS. good luck

[Q] Help with stuck logo & reboots.

I have a HTC sensation which I am trying to fix.
It was working fine and then did an OTA update and it would not boot again and would lock up on the HTC logo with a white background.
I did manage to unlock the phone, but it is still S-ON because I am unable to get into the phone normally to get revolutionary to detect the phone correctly because it cant find the phone in recovery mode.
I managed to get EXT4 recovery image installed which helped me flash the rom to cyanogenmod 10.1 but it will reboot every 5 seconds after it loads into the menu.
I did a super wipe and installed ARHD but it only gets to the beats audio logo before restarting.
I was unable to find the correct stock rom or the RUU because the CID is TELNZ which doesn't seem to have many stock rom files around.
I believe that if I can find the RUU_PYRAMID_TELNZ then it will help me fix the device, but I can't find it on the net.
I tried to write a super CID so I could flash any rom to it but it doesn't work:
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\tools>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) vreg_set: request is duplicated id 14
(bootloader) pyramid_init_sd, SD card power on ok
(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done
(bootloader) [FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
I tried to manually update the phone with (I had to edit the file and add TELNZ*** to it):
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\tools>fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip
sending 'zip' (14242 KB)...
OKAY [ 3.087s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
I also tried to put PG58IMG.zip on the SD card but the phone fails to update from the image with no error after it finishes "checking" the file.
Here is the info that I have gathered from the device:
Model: HTC sensation z710a
version: 0.5
version-bootloader: 1.18.0000
version-baseband: 10.14.9035.02_2
version-cpld: None
version-microp: None
version-main: 1.50.781.1
product: pyramid
platform: HBOOT-8260
modelid: PG5811000
cidnum: TELNZ001
battery-status: good
battery-voltage: 3912mV
partition-layout: Generic
security: on
build-mode: SHIP
boot-mode: FASTBOOT
commitno-bootloader: 9d24123f
hbootpreupdate: 11
gencheckpt: 0
What I am hoping to do is to get the device S-OFF and install ARHD Sensation 7.3 or a working install of cyanogenmod 10.1.
If anyone could offer me any help, that would be greatly appreciated.
**update 1**
I have found the reason that the roms are restarting constantly.
Basically the 1.18 HBOOT version I have is too low and causing issues.
I need to update to 3.33 but the revolution tool cant get root, so I am trying to use the Tacoroot method to try and get revolution to work.
The issue I am now facing is that I cant get past the first step because of this error: "failed to copy 'tacoroot.bin' to '/data/local/tacoroot.bin': Permission denied"

delete.....

Yeah i forgot that device you mention your device is still S-ON and that's why i removed my abov post but you can still flash GB RUU.. let me find..

You're s-on... Then you must flash boot.img of the ROM you're trying to flash, using fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then immediately reboot.

Thanks.
To go into greater detail, does this mean that I need to download hTC-Stock-FirmWare-3.33.401.6 (HBOOT-1.29.0000+boot.img+Radio+Recovery+etc.) and manually flash the boot.img via CMD?
What I have managed to do so far is run superwipe and install SENSEaY_XE35_v2.1.0 which is a modified GB rom.
I tried to then run the revolutionary method to get S-OFF but it always just corrupted the rom.
I also tried the tacoroot method but that corrupted the rom as well.
So for now I'm just leaving it with SENSEaY_XE35_v2.1.0 installed since that is the only thing that works and seems to be stable on the phone.

You need the old firmware like you had before you updated to Maximus.
Run a RUU.exe and clear storage/factory reset in bootloader when you have the stock recovery back on.

I've never changed my CID, no need to. So I'm not an expert.
But from what I have read here:
"You can use any ruu while s-OFF, just simply plug phone to computer and run ruu. No need to relock bootloader.
For the supercid, it is recommended to change it back to original with fastboot command.
Fastboot oem write cid xxxxxxxx.
There has been a few bricks takin Jb ota while still supercid. "
So, not a problem, unless you install a OTA (over the air) update while SuperCid.
Here's a good guide from another forum
http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691874-guide-how-run-ruu-your-htc-one-s.html
Glancing at that, I noticed it recommends running the RUU on the PC as administrator, maybe it's something simple like that.

When trying the RUU did you go to bootloader (fastboot USB)?
To Unlock
Locate your Unlock_code.bin on your pc, probably saved it somewhere or it is still in your fastboot folder.
Type this into your command prompt window fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
or go through the process of getting a new one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

Glad you were able to get the RUU working. But right now you won't be able to flash many ROMs with that low of a Hboot. You will need to update the firmware.
Since you put your CID back, you would have to put back stock recovery and relock bootloader. Then you could go through settings and do the OTA to update to 2.15 hboot.
Or...this firmware update thread

There is a stock recovery here
http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
The SECOND download is the stock one
Unless you change the name of the recovery the command will probably look more like this:
fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img
And yes
fastboot oem lock
after you have flashed the stock recovery of course

Eh.. It is stable besides for some bootlooping. Like you start it up and it bootloops a few times before finally loading. I like the Avatar Rom which is CM 10.2 based, and noticed a little bootlooping. But it wasn't terrible, just something that happened a few times.
So if that doesn't bother you, go for it. Other than that you would need to stick with sense based roms for stability.
Gosh, so many to choose from you will have to try some out.

Ya, guess you are right, 10.1
You can flash any as long as they don't require hboot 2.16 (which they state in the first page OP)

you need a specific hboot to try the rom. i think is 2.15 and you have 1.13.. so..... i think that is the problem.

first of all you'd update all that is possible to lates ver. (hboot, recovery), may be you should try hboot 2.16 and roms for it...

You will need to update HBOOT to version 2.15 or 2.16 depending on which rom you want to install. HTC__304 is Europe/Spain so the Europe RUU should be fine for you. Its pretty easy:
Download FIRMWARE HBOOT 2.15
Extract the included recovery and flash it using fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Relock your bootloader (in case it's actually locked)
fastboot oem lock
Then flash the firmware215.zip:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware215.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware215.zip (First time you probably get an error, so just retype the command!!!)
fastboot reboot-bootloader (to get back into bootloader mode)

He's S-On, are you sure it'll work like this? Flashing firmware is not possible unless you're S-Off. He should first try to achieve S-Off via rumrunner or other method (since he's already using Viper or a close-to-stock ROM). Then he might try flashing 2.15/2.16 firmware

I'm sure. Flashing "SIGNED" zips will totally work with S-ON.

But I have two questions:
1What you mean "locked" I have my boot loader unlocked!
When I finish the flash process I can unlock again?

You can unlock it at any time, but you will have to lock it before upgrade the firmware.

I'm glad you finally made it. HBOOT 2.16 works with S-OFF only, thats why I uploaded 2.15. As @Rapier mentioned earlier, you can use rumrunner.us for easily getting S-OFF

Mind you that hboot 2.16 gives you shared internal storage. E.g. all free space is available to all partitions. This may come tot be necessary for you if flashing lollipop roms since the "foot print" of installed aps on lollipop becomes much larger. This has to do with runtime environment... Kitkat runs with Dalvik Cache whereas Lollipop runs with the Android Runtime aka ART.
So, staying on hboot 2.15 give you the old partition layout with approx. 1 GByte(??) free for apps and 7 as internal SD.
While hboot 2.16 serves all your free internal storage to all partitions. This saves you headache of internal space for apps running out.
(Someone may deel to fill in the technical gaps i left in)
Cheers , happy hboot 2.16 user.
