[Q] Soft bricked Sensation. Please help/ - HTC Sensation

Hi there. I've somehow managed to softbrick my Sensation. It's on a permanent whitescreen/green HTC logo reboot loop.
Booting into bootloader, it says I have...
Firmware - 3.32
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.110
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

HBOOT

<VOL DOWN> to next item

FASTBOOT

The looping boot means I can't log in via ADP.
Anyone know how to dig my way out of this hole?

You need to install a custom recovery in order to flash custom roms. I recommend installing 4ext via fastboot

You use fastboot to flash the recovery.img available from the 4ext website.

Of course. the img is either very well hidden or not available from the website :-/
Never mind. I found once elsewhere except...
I can't use fastboot or adb as the phone is not being recognised using usb.
Phone constantly rebooting so get the usb connected, then disconnected dings but won't stay awake long enough to lock in.
If I load the bootloader first than try I get all sorts of device not found errors.
"adb > devices" reveals nothing
"adb reboot-bootloader" = "error device not found"
etc.
(BTW all these work on my HTC One so it's more likely my Sensation that's not set up right here. In fact my Sensation used to work via USB, now it doesn't)

Use volume down and power to boot into hboot, from hboot use the volume buttons to select fastboot and use power to select it. Connect the device to the computer via USB and wait for drivers to install if necessary. Then you can use the fastboot commands to flash the recovery.img use
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the name of the .IMG you have downloaded and placed into your fastboot path.

you will see FASTBOOT USB section not only when installing htc drivers but also when choosing fastboot from bootloader
maybe you missed that

let me get this straight ..
when you connect the phone from bootloader to PC ..whats the phone is saying ?
HBOOT or FASTBOOT USB ?
if its saying HBOOT ..press power button once ..that will take you to FASTBOOT USB
if its FASTBOOT USB then you are onnected properly
now to test the connection
open command window from the adb/fastboot folder of your PC (if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here)
and type this
fastboot devices
it should show your device ..and the rest you follow from the guide

Have you tried just running an RUU? That'll take it back to stock.

Here is the att 3.18 RUU. All you need to do is connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU, it's an exe file. Make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled (leave the drivers installed), make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver/hibernation are turned off.

[Q] Stuck in the red letters screen on my HTC One X

hello my friends, i need your help to fix my celphone, when i turned on the phone doesnt boot up always saty stuck in the screen with the red letters, i tried changing the kernel, i tried to install another ROM but always stuck in the same point, i wiped the cache, the system even the SD card and doesnt work,
Anyone can help me?
------Updated-----
according with some posts that i read i need to flash the RUU but i tried downloading the stock att ruu 2.20 but doesnt reconize any phone conected exists a way to flash directly over the TWRP?or maybe i missing something and because of that doesnt detect my celphone?
Reboot the phone and hold volume down while it's rebooting, this will take you to the bootloader, from there you can enter recovery and restore a backup or flash ROM.
What ROM were you on and what kernel did you flash?

eehm nop, so how i do that? from where i can get the boot.img and how can flash via fastboot?
Sorry for my noob questions
The boot.img can be found in the root of the ROM zip, unzip it on your pc and you'll see it straight away. You then need to copy the boot.img into the folder where adb and fastboot are. Then open a command prompt from within that folder (shift + right click anywhere in that folder, select open command prompt here), put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it to the pc, then issue this command in the command prompt:
Code:
fastboot devices
It should return your device serial number, this confirms that you're connected properly. If it doesn't return the serial number you need to work out why. If it does return the serial number you can issue this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now you can enter recovery on your phone, flash the ROM, and reboot the phone. Now it should boot up.

since you are on S-ON you have to flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
or flash 4ext recovery and enable smartflash from it before flashing the rom
as you understand in any case you need sdk tools(adb and fastboot) on your pc

Try following method 2 in this guide( through updating via PG58IMG.zip file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599816. Be carefule about the md5 checksum of the recovery image. Double check before flashing!!
After this, boot into recovery(from the bootloader menu, select appropriate superuser.zip file(for rooting, search xda ...there are many options) and flash root. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Now you can flash any custom rom.
All the above assuming you can somehow transfer files to your SD card through a card reader or any other means...
NOTE: Delete the PG58IMG.zip after flashing recovery.

Still won't work. I have tried flashing stock firmwares, stock and non-stock recoveries, reflashing root.zip, restore from known good backups, nothing has worked. Phone is stuck at first HTC logo screen and will go no further, and with no USB connectivity, it's impossible for me to flash even PG58IMGs' because the phone is S-on.
Maybe this could work for you...just a suggestion

Ok, from your reply i gather that even though you transferred the PG581MG to your SD card, the phone did not update when your got to the bootloader menu. I do not think being S-ON will prevent you from installing from the zip file...but maybe i am wrong. Hey now all i can think is this:
Turn off your phone, remove the battery, wait for some time(~10seconds), then put the battery back in. Now press Power +Vol down switch together. Now at the boot loader menu select Fastboot and press Power button. Connect your phone to your PC now and wait. The check if the next screen shows 'FASTBOOT USB'.
If you get 'FASTBOOT USB' in the next screen, then you have multiple options, but for you i would suggest that you download the latest RUU for the phone depending on your region and cid. Then run the ruu while the device is still in FASTBOOT USB mode. This will restore your phone's firmware recovery and rom back to stock.
But if your phone does not show fastboot usb then i'm stumped dude...maybe the experts here in our sensation community will be able to help out....
All the best ...and report if anything improves...

[Q] My HTC wont start up

Hey guys. I was trying to root my HTC One S and upgrade it when I dont know what I did, it suddenly wouldnt turn on. I think I deleted maybe the Operating System. Anyhow I was trying again to reboot it through the Safe Mode (holding the power button and the volume down key together) but nothing would do it. It simply wont start up. Is there any way I could turn it on again? Load the OS?
Please help.

Charge your phone for two hours and it will start.
Now you can use your safe mode or bootloader to load a new firmware, You can Google the instructions and firmware.

I dont know how I can reload it or restart it. Can you help me? I am also a non-technical guy, So I really suck on this. =/
You have erased the OS.
Please do these and let me know
1. enter bootloader
2. select recovery
Have you downloaded any custom rom yet.

When recovery is selected it is in FASTBOOT USB
And the options
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
are there.
Nothing of them does anything instead of reboot bootloader which goes back to the other menu where i selected recovery.
have you installed any custom recovery through fastboot usb?

It wont show your SDCard cos your phone is in bootloader mode and cant go to normal mode.
So, let's get your phone up and running once again. Follow these instructions exactly if you want your phone back alive.
1. type here everything you see when you go to bootloader cos i want to confirm if you are having s3 or s4

GOOD!! Means you can still install a recovery via PC and a ROM later.
Do you have the fastboot files on your PC still?
Since you have relocked, you need to unlock once again in order to install a recovery.

If you dont have download and extract the Fastboot_ADB.zip to your C:\ or D:\
and then download this recovery

Nope i dont think you are stupid. Happen to me the first time i unlocked my One S, i deleted my whole OS and i panicked. Trick is to keep cool and read from this forum and not from the internet.

extract the Fastboot_ADB.zip and go inside that folder till you see the files
Hold down SHIFT key and Right click inside that folder to open up Command Prompt. Btw keep your phone connected to PC and Fastboot USB as you have done before
Run this command
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
and tell me the results

Good, just made sure your device is from germany. So lemme check if i can find the RUU for your device for germany. Since your HBOOT is still Ice Cream Sandwich we need to find an ICS RUU.
