Help with rooting a HTC Sensation 4g - HTC Sensation

Hi, I've tried a bunch of methods, but at this point I'm tired and just want someone else to do it. I couldn't get S-Off or anything, it never goes part the "bootloader/fastboot" white screen and I'm not sure why. Is there anyone in the Houston area willing to do this for me? I'll pay. It's an HTC Sensation 4G 1.27.000
Please and thank you.

That means nothing. That is stock recovery so there is no way to know anything about the device. Back cover is broken so that might be a problem as the antenna is placed there...
If the device is stuck in there might mean that volume rocker is flaw, but nothing more is to be said if you don't know if you can access hboot or if fastboot is working.

Unfortunately, if you can't access recovery, fastboot, or ADB, you have very little chance of fixing it.

I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
Any advice regarding a remedy would be much appreciated.

You need to flash the boot.img included in the rom via fastboot after restoring your backup.

When p hone is on you'll have to power it off manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then you should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power) No matter if you have flashed a wrong kernel.

Thanks for the advice on how to enter the bootloader. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using your method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far.
I'm to the point where I'd love to send the phone to someone who could RUU it and send it back.

does the pc recognize the phone via usb?? you could try with using CMD script to boot into bootloader... i think there is one present on windroid:

Thanks for the help.
Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2094414
But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?
Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid.
Also, while the RUU program recongizes that I have my phone attached, the Hasson utility does not, nor does my computer.
Which error code?

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU
And if your CID is Optus001 and you're S-ON you can't use T-Mobile RUUs (T-MOB010)

How did you enter the fast boot?
I was playing with System Files because of the low mic volume problem, rebooted and since then the phone does exactly like yours: 20sec of "this build is for development purposes only" then it switches off.
All button-combinations tried.
The PC in Printer and Devices sees it as an Android Phone, Device Manager sees a HTC MTP Device, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer.
Adb do not see any connected device.
I guess I have to change the motherboard.

So try this.
Keep pressing power button till shut down,then try to enter bootloader by power button + volume down.
The guide you linked....if followed properly will not brick you.
Any more details? What you did exactly....errors....anything??
Did you press the power button for a very long time to see if anything happens?
Are you sure its fully charged? Any sign of life when plugged into charger....or computer???

I get a sound when plugged into the computer, I'm not sure if I extracted the right files to the platform-tools thing or whatnot, I also entered "fastboot flash boot boot.img" not sure if any of those was ment to be the name of my image.
This is what my platform-tools folder looks like.

The phone is now in bootloader.

[Q] Bricked my One XL by flashing the wrong boot.img file

I was following Timmaaas 'How To' guide to a tee when I got to step #5 and and did the Reboot to find that my phone is now bricked. I was racking my brain trying to understand what I did wrong and I realize that I used the wrong Boot.img file when I flashed it!
I was having issues during the entire process and realized it was because I was using the CyanogenMod One X ROM instead of the XL. This was causing me to get an 'Error 7' until I switched to the XL and everything downloaded fine. However, I completely forgot to replace the Boot.img and ended up flashing my phone with the One X boot.img instead of the XL!
The phone is not responding at all. I did have it plugged into the computer and after it became bricked my computer downloaded the Qualcomm USB drivers for 9006 but its still not responding at all.
Is there anything I can do? It seems like all I need to do is change that one boot file and I would be golden. Please keep in mind this is my first Root so if you know of a way to fix I would really appreciate it if you can teach me in simple terms if possible.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate all you guys do at XDA you help an enormous amount of people. A donation from me is on the way! :good:
EDIT: I kept messing with the power button trying to boot it over and over and finally it launched to HTC one entry screen with the red text for a little less then 1 second but then shut back off. Maybe this gives some hope?
You're gonna need to get a jtag repair done. There's just no way for you to get the device to the bootloader in order to flash the right boot.img because it won't boot due to you borking the boot partition.

Are you able to issue adb commands? If you're seeing the splash screen then you may not be completely bricked. If the device is still showing as qualcommUSB then you're likely out of luck though.
