Hello, I have a T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G, and I've ran into some problems recently. I'm a basic-intermediate user when it comes to Android, but I can't find a solution specifically for this. It started with a small problem but got worse and worse until I couldn't even boot correctly.
I started out installing a small custom battery mod, but that led to a few problems with the notification bar (not a big deal).
Then I tried to revert to the stock battery to fix the problem, format cache and dalvik cache in recovery, and reset. Then I was put into an infinite boot loop with the HTC splash, but going into cwm recovery was still possible.
Then, in recovery, I could not access my sd card for some reason, so I shut off, reinserted the sd card, and remounted it, then I reset again.
Now, it's impossible to boot to android at all, and I am completely stuck at HBOOT/FASTBOOT, and cannot access recovery OR perform a hard reset.
If I try to reinstall cwm recovery, I get a partition update fail as well...
I have full root, s-off, etc.
ROM- InsertCoin 3.3.1
Kernel- Stock
Hboot- 1.17.1011
Clockwork version- 5.0.0.8
Any suggestions? Am I bricked? I can give more details if needed.
I think you could take a official RUU and rename to the same as if you were trying to flash CWR pm58img or whatever it is.... Don't have my files with me. It should reformat to stock. Hope it helps.

Alright, thanks, I'll try that soon and see if it works.
Update: Unfortunately, I don't think I can flash anything, it just comes up with a partition update fail...
Anyone else know what I could try? I also tried to flash the 1.45 RUU, but it can't continue past the search for the bootloader.
If u can get to fastboot have u tried manually flashing recovery.img ie
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This should work if u can get into fastboot and allow u to then get back to a recovery and may save ya life lol

I tried adb devices, and it's not even recognized, even though my sensation says FASTBOOT USB...
have you tried re-installing the drivers...

Nope, still nothing, I even tried different sd cards and usb cables, with no difference...
So has my phone been reduced to a paperweight?

ummmm just a quick questions.... if you are on the fastboot screen and at the top it says fastboot usb have you tried running the ruu from there and are you scid? what carrier are you on? also in another post above this you said the bootloader doesnt get past the searching files, im wondering if you left the .zip that says pm58img on the root of your sd card. that could be the reason it doesnt get past that screen. just trying to get more info to see if we can get more help for you.

Yes, I have tried to flash the 1.45 Pyramid RUU, but when the RUU tries to reset my phone into bootloader, it just resets right back into fastboot (the RUU command stays at "waiting for bootloader"). I am also super cid and my carrier is US T Mobile. I made sure not to leave the update package on my sd card, and I even tried the RUU without an sd card at all, but no difference.

ok.... i was just askin cause did the exact same thing (well almost, i tried to change the notification icons which resulted in my notification bar completely gone) you did and got into that infinite boot loop. and couldnt boot into android. and couldnt figure it out. the only thing i did was just install the ruu while i was in the fastboot screen and it worked. i wasnt aware that there was a 1.45 ruu for tmous but i dont think that should matter since you are scid anyways. now im just wonderin if you tried any other ruu's besides that one. for me i flashed the 1.29 ruu for tmous and that got me up and running...... sorry i couldnt help
Hi,
i came to the screen install form zip on sdcard
but then it starts installation
and shows : installation aborted
now i cant start the phone i always get tothis screen
with the red text this build is for ....
what can i do?
edit: now i am again there where i can install zip from sdcard, but now it doesnt recognize the sdcard. What can I do, because i the phoen does not take a microsdcard where I could put a new rom.
how can i get access to the internela storage now wihtour a os?
How did this happen ? Selecting a ROM to flash in recovery cant really cause so much damage if it fails. They usually fail because of a md5 mismatch or something.
try to mount the sd card and you can use adb to push files to it..
you could also try a full wipe..
I did several things. I rooted and unlocked the device
and now it does not boot.
Everytime I tired to flash leedroid or stock rom with choosing install form zip
installation get aborted.
I am only able to get into the boolloader and into the recovery.
how can i restore the phone?
wipe and recovery is not possible i always end in this screen
with the red text.
edit: i think i try to get into booloader and copy another file version with adb to the sd card and hope it was a download error.
but why the hell then did both the leedroid 'AND the stock rom fail?
did you flash the boot.img BEFORE flashing leedroids ROM ??
If not i suggest trying that, If that fails, Just run an RUU and start from the beginning
Thanks for the Idea,
my problem is that i cant get access to the memory wihtout a working rom
on it And now i also dont get into the recovery CWMS.
I thouzhg power+vol up would do it but it doesnt work
I think i destroyed my brand new phone.
but thanks for helping.
It's not broken.
Try Power + Vol. down. Possibly you need to retry this several times to get into the bootloader.
its not destroyed dont worry..
Run an RUU and all will be good again. Whats your CID ?
That is the problem I cannot put up software on the device
so how should i run a ruu?
Where can i get the CID from wihtout starting the phone?
I hope you have a trick how I can save the device.

You run it from your Windows desktop. Download your appropriate RUU here for example (as it takes a loooooong time).
Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
Double Click the RUU-file.
Answer the Questions and the update will start.
Remember: Your device will be reset to factory default and your data on sd card will be gone so.
Edit: You will still have to start it with power + vol. down buttons pressed (as far as I remember).

To get into the bootloader try this.
Press and hold volume down, then power. Hold both down together for 5 secs, let go of the power button then press the power button several times. This always works for me.
If this works then your phone is easy to fix.
Maybe you could try to reflash the boot.img from leedroid via fastboot.
Then flash a proper recovery.img via fastboot (I use clockworkmod)
As I heard you could then push the rom.zip via Adb the sdcard while in recovery. Last step would be install zip from sdcard.

Have you installed supersu via install ZIP from sdcard? I think this needs go be installed before installing the Rom. I Don't Know it exactly. But like this it worked for me when coming from stock rom. Thats how it worked for me:
1. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev
2. flash recovery image via fastboot
3. Install SuperSU from zipfile in recovery
4. Flash boot.img from Leedroid
5. Install Leedroid from sdcard
So maybe you missed one of the steps.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
to get CID go into fastboot and type in cmd window ''fastboot getvar cid''
If your phone is branded, you will need that branded RUU, So i assume you will need o2 Germany RUU
Reflash recovery in fastboot, should give you access to sdcard back.

i did the same thing to my one s yesterday... followed all the steps for leedroid n got same frustration u have...
theres a nandroid file in the dev section... fastboot the boot.img and the recovery.img
ya phone WILL boot back up
ok guys ty for cheeering me up.
i wil try it with a ruu, where can i find a ruu for my htc one s.
the link in the previuos post ist offline.
i think it was 1.78.407.x when i looked the last time in my handy.
thanks
so my cid is
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot.exe getvar cid
cid: O2___102
finished. total time: 0.003s
Like i said it is a O2 i hope this helps finding the ruu
well check the Shipped ROM thread.. If its not there you can ask the OP Football if he has it or can get it..
Some RUU's cost $13 so if you know someone else who wants it, you could split the cost ?
so far, now am in the recovery flash but it is the same
count mount /sdcard
how can i put a file onto the sdcard when i have no access?
partionoing sdcard doesn't help
i was looking for this boot.img and recovery.img which was posted before
i dont find it can someone link me to it if he knows what was meant?
thanks
edit: i was desperate and tried:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
but the second order was not successful
ist there another way to fix this usb brick
and to get access to /sdcard
new edit: now i write also in the help thread (noob friendly) i hope that is ok.

Ruu takes the phone completely back to stock but u need to find the right version for u so we need some information
What country are you in?
What is your radio version
Is your phone branded? E. G does it have t mobile on it
Sent from a man, using a mobile phone
Okay download an appropriate ruu for your device, international, tmobile, etc. Power down the device (Power button and volume down for 10 seconds) plug in the usb from the wall and power on and charge for a few hours. (Don't want your phone to permanently turn off and hard brick your device) Follow the instructions on the ruu to get back to stock.
Relock your bootloader before starting the ruu process. "fastboot oem lock" You should know the basics by now.
I'll Pm you some ruu that may work..
i have messed everything
I accidentally formatted my internal storage , cache , data, system and everything.
I cannot able to mount the USB and not even fastboot as it is saying waiting for device. My bootloader is the only thing thats working,not even my philz recovery is of no use . adb is not recognizing my phone . please help me

First thing you need to do is get fastboot working. At this point, you cannot do anything without it.
So go into bootloader, select fastboot, connect to pc and you should see it change to fastboot USB on your phone after a few seconds.
Navigate to the folder containing fastboot and hold shift and right click somewhere on the window, select open command prompt here. Now, enter the command:
fastboot erase cache
If it goes through, great. If not, you need to update drivers. Install the latest version of HTC sync on your PC.
Of no luck, try another PC, different USB port, different cable, whatever. You need to get it working.
Once it is working, you will need to fastboot recovery, boot.img, etc, but do what I said first, then report back.

Today I flashed the last CleanRom 5.1 then I flashed kernel BeastMode evita 4.4 and the phone has bricked in the screen of HTC. So I did a big mistake, in the bootlloader i am pretty sure I have wiped the phone, now I have no ROM in the phone, and the TWRP will not let me select mount sd card. I have thinking in push the ROM in ADB but sincerely I have no idea how to do that. Actually I´m in the bootloader screen and connected the phone, appearing "Fastboot USB". Could someone kindly tell me what are the orders in the Command Prompt to connect the phone to my pc and push the rom?
The phone was with CM10 ROM, rooted and TWRP provided by a friend who is not available to help me.
BTW sorry for my regular english, I´m from Argentina.

My First advice, relock bootloader and run ruu...If your on the newer hboot don't you have to flash boot.img as well before flashing the rom? Did you wipe cashe and dalvik when you flashed? Did you see if rom first worked before flashing kernel?

I'm sure someone will provide a ruu download based on your phone. Fastboot oem lock command in fastboot to lock bootloader. I would wait though to see if there is still a way to flash Rom and mount your phones sd card.by the way did you create a recovery in twrp of stock rooted version?
You dont need to RUU. I don't know why everyone runs to that.
Open TWRP, mount usb storage.
If you're on windows, it should prompt you to format your sd card. Format it to fat32.
Copy whatever rom you want onto the card.
Install in TWRP.

Hi, I still cannot solving my problem :/ I locked the phone with the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. Then I downloaded a RUU called htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe and I´ve executed the file in fastboot but appears during the installation process an error message that the phone is not connected with the USB cable, when obviously connected.
I have no idea what to do, I tried to check the connections, right now I'm trying to download another RUU apparently compatible, my CID is 11111111 and my HBOOT is 1.09.0000. Can you think of anything else I can do?

Newer RUU version should still work, but avoiding the 1.14 hboot is a good idea. So I too would recommend getting the 1.85 RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670238
OP should make sure he has the latest HTC drivers installed on the PC, or try re-installing them. Also try a different USB port. I've seen more than a few times on here, where it was simple as the drivers or the USB port.

Then reboot into bootloader then fastboot
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Then, once you're in TWRP, you can just flash a rom
Hope it helps! I'm still kinda nooby w/ htc as I was with motorola forever! I got my phone 1 month ago so... yeah

You connect the phone to the PC, select "Mount USB" in TWRP. Then on your PC format the phone's SD card.
I have an XE, HBOOT 1.27 Unlocked and S-ON and I flashed many ROMs, always enabling SmartFlash in 4Ext.
Yesterday I tried to flash Sebastian's ROM, Revelation, and now my phone is stuck at HTC Splash Screen.
First I did a nandroid to my current ROM, Pac 1.1, then format all(except SD Card), then flashed Revelation and something went wrong.
After flash complete I confirmed reboot and right before 4Ext closed, it showed a message saying something like : It has been detected a change in your boot partition, a backup of previous has been made in /sdcard/4Ext/boot.
It stays like that for a few seconds(I always had this message when flashed other ROMs) and soon after says something "there has been an error, report it" (never seen this message before) and reboots, but keeps showing Splash Screen for ~5 seconds, turns black, then Splash Screen again and so on until I remove the battery.
What can I do and how?
Someone told me to push via fastboot the ROM's boot.img but there is a problem.I have a PC where the phone has never been connected via USB cable, so I have no driver/tool anything.
When I connect it to PC, nothing shows up.
If I select FASTBOOT from the bootloader menu, still nothing shows up on PC.I tried from 4Ext menu Toggle usb connection, but still no trace on my PC.
I beg you, help me.
EDIT : I just found out that Sebastian messed up something in the installer, and all I have to do is to flash the boot.img through fastboot.

Hi,
Try flashing a STOCK ROM
Choose the XE in the second post.
Otherwise you will have to setup your PC to run a RUU,and return everything back to square one.
The weird thing is that even if I try to flash another ROM, stil the same problem.
I format all except SD card,wipe cache+dalvik, mount SD card into PC and delete folder 4Ext/boot_backup.
Go back to 4Ext, enable SmartFlash and flash CM 10.1 by Albino . Reboot, I get the message about my boot partition has been modified, but not the error too, and when it reboots, stuck at splash screen.
I'm desperate.

Hi,
It looks like your only option to reconfigure your boot partition ,is to run a RUU.
Look HERE
Do you know the version-main of your phone?
But first you will also need to setup your PC for ADB.

Do you know the version-main of your phone?
But first you will also need to setup your PC for ADB.

Ok thank you for your links.

actually if he setup the pc with adb and fastboot files he will be able to flash the boot.img manually
so why the ruu.exe?

I tried that yesterday with the help of a guy, but no success.
I installed all necessary drivers, adb and fastboot, but I can't get my phone discovered on my PC.
If the boot partition would be screwed, why it doesn't work when I try to flash other ROM? Like CM 10.1 or the XE Stock that I've been suggested a few posts above. Flashing this ROMs, shouldn't the boot partition be written with the ROM's files, and everything should turn back as normal?

It should rewrite the boot partition. Are you sure 4ext says "a pending update to..." and the process completes?
First boot after a new flash can take as long a 10mins. Wait it out.
Anyway if it diesnt work, try another wipe (all except sdcard) flash another rom, and if you're still stuck, use an ruu.
Happy to help.

I'm very sure 4ext says "a pending update to..." but only it doesn't completes as usual, instead show an error saying that the process couldn't be completed and the boot partition was reverted back as it was,report the problem. This happens when trying to flash Revelation.
I flashed CM 10.1 and says only " a pending update to..." no error , reboots and keeps turning off and on the splash screen.
I flashed a stock XE ROM, happens same thing as in CM 10.1 case.
I tried restoring from nandroid , happens same as CM 10.1 and stock XE ROM.
I wiped and flashed so many times in the last 2 days that I didn't do in the whole year that I had the phone.
I can't use a RUU, as I'm stuck at getting the phone discovered by PC.As I said, I installed all necessary drivers found on a topic here, but still can't see the phone.I tried HTC Sync also, as that pack installs the drivers too, but still no luck.
My last hope is to try connecting the phone on an older PC that I put it in a box and thrown it in the garage.That PC has all drivers and set-up for the phone, but they are outdated for sure.

There you go. The reason your phone is in a bootloop is that the correct boot.img is not written.
And something is not right with your recovery. It could be a bad flash (I'm not sure).
I don't think you need to use an ruu. Just get on a pc that recognizes your device, and flash the correct boot.img.
I would advise that you flash the recovery.img again.
EDIT: Change usb port to 2.0. Try all usb ports on your computer. It is quite common that fastboot recognizes devices on some usb ports and not on others.
Alternatively read this, point 4. This will surely work if you can't get another pc

I think this is the key to my problem. I checked the link you gave me and I think I might get it done using that method.
Gonna give it a try as soon as I get some free time later today.
PS : I tried all 3 usb ports on PC, ofc.
Thank you, I will keep this topic update with results.
I'm having a hard time finding the right RUU for my phone, as I don't have access to fastboot, which would make my job a lot easier.
I found a list with providers and CIDs and I suppose mine is HTC-ITA HTC__405 , since I bought it in Italy and it was unbranded.
But i can't get software version, as it asks me to go to setting/About phone . I can't do that.
I think the right RUU is RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R2_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504, so now I'm downloading that and then move on step 4 on that tutorial.
Hope I just won't brick the phone.

You can flash only one particluar ruu. Just make sure it's pyramid le(sensation xe). You will not be able to flash a wrong one, so no need to worry.

Yea I'm downloading right now RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R2_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504
Says LE, so I should be fine.
Hi,
The RUU process will not work if the phone says "Unlocked"
You will need to relock the phone,according to the section 3 of the guide.
So,you will need a PC
did you check also if the bootloader screen says fastboot usb?

But I'm gonna do the step 4 which says only to execute the RUU .exe but don't do anything, and in the temp folder on my pc I will find a file which then I'll have to move to the SD Card and flash straight from my recovery.

When I vol down & power to get in bootloader I see :
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIM LOCK
IMAGE CRC
I don't know about fastboot usb...
Anyway, selecting FASTBOOT and connecting my phone to PC, nothing shows up, and running fastboot commands doesn't work, there's no link between pc and phone.

when you select fastboot does it say after that fastboot usb in bootloader screen?
