[Q] HTC Sensation Continuous Bootloop

Unlocked
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMc-boot
I installed the new viper 1.41 rom and then tried to flash one of the kernals. It said it was all done but then now I'm stuck in a continuous bootloop.
I can boot into recovery and have tried to flash another rom already but it stays in bootloop, also tried flashing different kernal and still doesn't work.
Tried to start from the beginning using cmd etc (adb etc) but cmd can't find a device when using the command adb devices.
What should I do? Please help !!1

Hi,
Do you have 4EXT recovery installed?
If so ,enable smartflash.

"Download 4EXT recovery (1.0.0.5!)" I have this on installed and smartflash is already enabled via recovery.

Hi,
Unless you have it permanently enabled,you must enable it just before you flash anything.

Again I've already set smartflash before every flashing of roms. Just this time I'm stuck in a bootloop and can't do nothing about it?

Hi!
I too am stuck in a bootloop trying to flash CM10.
The problem is I thought I needed CWM to flash the firmware and am now stuck with the CM10 logo when I try and reboot the phone.
Doing more reading 4ext seems to be required to fully wipe the phone rather than CWM
I've found PG58IMG.zip which is recognised when I boot into recovery, but not apparently installed. Perhaps not surprisingly CWM won't install the zip.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to the installation?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi,
Firmware is not dependent on a particular recovery.
4 EXT is a better choice ,because it gives you more options.
What PG58IMG.zip were you trying to flash?
S-on/off?
hboot?
radio?
ROM?
Kernel?
etc
etc

More information is required...

Getting past the bootloop
After my plea for help yesterday regarding the bootloop after I had tried to update my HTC Sensation, I eventually found the answer to my problem. Also the response I had yesterday raised some questions which I note at the end
.
Firstly I was trying to update my stock firmware HTC Sensation to CM10; the build I was using was the AOKP / Kang build by bruce2728 dated 16th November as that seemed to be being actively maintained and the functionality I required was reportedly working fine. I read the rather cursory instructions and given I’ve updated several Android tablets before I thought this will be easy. FAIL!
I’ll document elsewhere the process I followed, however the problem I had was when I tried to apply the CM10 image using CWM. It seemed to write successfully but when I came to reboot the phone it was stuck in a boot loop with the cyanogenmod logo stuck on the screen until I pulled the battery out. I couldn’t install 4ext using the play store app as I’d trashed the android installation.
I eventually replace CWM with 4ext by downloading the correct recovery image to my PC (from the third post of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666401, note that the recovery image is different for different phones and possibly operator.)
I then started the phone in bootloader (noting the phone was S-ON), plugged in the USB connection and pressed the power button, so fastboot was selected and then Fastboot usb was displayed on the phone.
From a command prompt on the PC after changing to the directory where I had placed fastboot and adb I typed “fastboot recovery recovery.img” and this replaced CWM with 4ext.
After rebooting the phone and getting back into the bootloader, I selected recovery. This time 4ext started. Before writing the new Android image I wiped user data and (I think it was in tools once you scrolled to the bottom) selected “enable 4ext superflash” before flashing the ROM and Google Apps and then successfully rebooting the phone. For reference the phone took less than 5 minutes to start up.
I now think my problem was trying to flash the ROM with S-ON and not using 4-ext superflash. Oh well
Following on from the response from malybru (Thanks)
Does writing a new rom change the radio? I’d understood it remained the same unless you made special efforts to change it and you were likely to wipe out the phone?
Thanks again
Kevin

maybe i am wrong but radio can be changed only when you are flashing different firmware and to do that you have to be S-OFF

Hi,
Flashing a ROM does NOT change the radio.
In fact,you cannot change the radio or firmware if you are s-on.
"Smartflash" is what I would have suggested if you had 4 EXT recovery and s-on.
It is all well documented HERE

Deleted /system, help!

Hi guys,
My cousin from America came to visit yesterday, and he asked me if I could install CyanogenMod on his phone. It's an HTC One X from AT&T. So I set his CID to 111111, unlocked his bootloader with HTCDev, flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 and then I rooted his phone. Afterwords, I did a backup via TWRP Recovery.
I looked for the CyanogenMod for this device and the stable build was cm-10.0.0-evita. I transfered it to the phone's TWRP folder, booted recovery and tried to install it but failed, the error message was: assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == 2.1....and some more numbers and stuff
Stupid as I was, I thought "It's probably the stock ROM interfering with the installation, and I can always restore my backup" so I erased a couple of things from the phone: Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, sdcard and System. Left Android Secure alone because I didn't know what it was or what it does.
Then it hit me. I formatted Data, my backup was gone! And so was the ROM I wanted to flash!
What do I do now? I don't have any operating system installed and can't boot into android! All I can do is boot into Recovery and Bootloader.
Here's what bootloader says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

It's ok, no need to panic
Download ROM to PC. Make doubly sure it's for this device, I think the error you experienced the first time was because you tried to flash an International One X ROM. Only get your ROMs from here, or here.
Boot into recovery.
Connect the phone to the PC.
Mount your sd/internal storage from your TWRP menu.
Copy ROM from PC to phone.
Wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system.
Flash ROM.
Reboot.
Enjoy.
Sent from my Evita

Alright, no problem, the error you got in TWRP was because you needed to have HBOOT 2.14 or above to install CM10.1 because of the kernel it uses. Never wipe /sdcard because it won't do you any good. Now, what you're gonna wanna do is, mount USB Storage in TWRP (under mount menu) when it's connected to your PC, download a ROM (not CM10.1 for now, we'll get to that soon enough) and make sure it's for this phone, drag and drop it to your phone from the PC, and flash it. Once you do that, if you still want to get CM10.1, we can help you with that too.
Edit: @timmaaa he won't be able to use CM10.1 because he's on hboot 1.09.

Your main problem, is that you are deleting/formatting things without having any clue what they are. This is an invitation for disaster. Your backups are deleted because your deleted the SD card, not because you deleted /data or /system.
/system = current ROM
/data = user data (phone storage), formatting is the same as factory reset
The only things that really need to be deleted when flashing a new ROM is /data (factory reset) and cache. Formatting /system is not necessary, as flashing a new ROM does this by default before installing the new ROM.
Connect the phone to your computer, mount USB in TWRP, and move the new ROM zip to the SD card, and flash from TWRP.
Its also a good idea to copy a backup to your computer or Dropbox. But that is probably not something that will help you at the moment. Just a bit of advice moving forward.

While in twrp, plug into your pc then go to mounts > mount usb storage. Then put whatever Rom on there. Make sure you get the right Rom for this device.
EDIT:
Oh wow just realized I was beat by like 3 people before I hit post lol

First off flash twrp 2.3.3.1 or 2.6 all others have issues.
Then mount usb storage from twrp
Copy Rom to sd card
Wipe cache and dalvik
If you're not s-off depending on hboot version the boot image will need to be flashed via fastboot.
Boot into rom.
Good luck.
Edit: just saw your on 1.09 no need to flash boot image first.

Oh by the way, TWRP 2.5 is known to have issues, so try using TWRP 2.3.3.1 instead.

TWRP 2.6 has been recently released, and appears to have resolved the issues with 2.5. But yeah, 2.5 and 2.4 are known to cause some serious problems (many ROMs will fail to flash).

Wow, thanks for the quick responses!
First of all, I can't mount SD card from TWRP. I can mount cache, data and System, but the checkbox nextto sdcard can't be clicked, stays unchecked. I can mount USB Storage but my computer says it needs to format the drive to use it, and I'm using Windows not Linux.
Secondly, whenever i try to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img with adb fastboot it says "The filename, directory name, or volume syntax is incorrect".
What do I do? :S

Also, after I've done this, what ROM do you suggest I download to flash, given my bootloader and situation?

You must have done a factory reset from bootloader, which has corrupted your storage. So, mount usb storage then format it using Windows to fat32 format.
The error you're encountering while trying to flash recovery is most likely because you're giving adb incorrect or mistyped command. To make it easier on yourself, rename the recovery zip file on your pc to something simple like "twrp.img" then issue the following command exactly:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Now you can flash any ROM you want as long as it isn't AOSP with 3.4 kernel. Unless you really want the 3.4 ROM, but then you'd first have to s-off and then run the RUU to 3.18.

The next step after what? What exactly have you achieved so far?

Well, I can now access the sdcard/internal storage on my PC when I connect the cable in TWRP Recovery. I just need a ROM.

[Q] Same thing, only different.

Okay, I have the same problem as the guy in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571779&highlight=wiped+all+partitions , but only have a few differences. I now have no sdcard or sdcard\ext partitions... Says zero megs. Thankfully I back my stuff up everytime I sync up to my pc. Anywho, I believe I need to run RUU mode and reinstall ICS factory. Here is what happened: I have had the phone rooted and S-OFF for about a week and have made a few backups. I went into recovery and made another backup. Rebooted into system, saved contacts, and rebooted back into bootloader by accident. Well when I went to hit "recovery" option, I went down one too any times and hit factory reset. Now, when I go into recovery, there is not any restore points, nor any sdcard options available. I cant mount up usb mass storage in TWRP because there is no sdcard partition...Hrmmmmm...... I guess the actual question is, "Do I need to run RUU and that will probably, maybe fix it?"

Can't Flash ROM's - Error Status 0 (Solved)

My HTC One S is rooted and unlocked with S-ON. I have flashed ROMs several times before with no problems, until all of a sudden I have been unable to flash any ROMs. In CWM 6 I get:

I have tried redownloading the ROM, trying ROMs which have previously worked - all of which return the same error.
I have also tried reflashing CWM to no avail, and I flashed TWRP and got the error

I think you have usb issues. You should either try working from a fresh install of Windows or Ubuntu from disc.
Here are instructions for booting to Ubuntu from disc:

Dude. You have to use files intended for the mini. Install a recovery for the mini from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m4ul and then flash the Rom again

sorry the problems just keep coming and coming

First, you can try wiping system and data partitions prior to installing (don't wipe sd card), but I think you need to update your firmware to install sense 6 Roms.
To do that you'll need to s-off first. Revone might work for you and rumrunner should work.
Or you can try installing this sense 5.5 rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50715903
